NVIDIA CEO: Certification of Samsung's AI Memory Chips Underway

NVIDIA is working diligently to certify Samsung's AI memory chips, according to recent reports from financial media outlets. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company is currently evaluating Samsung Electronics' 8-layer and 12-layer HBM3E memory chips, which are designed to enhance artificial intelligence processing capabilities.

Previously, Samsung hinted at providing advanced high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to AI giant NVIDIA. Kim Jae-june, Vice President of Samsung's memory business, stated during a conference call following the release of their Q3 financial report: "We are currently mass-producing 8-layer and 12-layer HBM3E products."

Kim further added that Samsung has made "meaningful progress" in meeting quality testing requirements for a "major customer," which is speculated to be NVIDIA.

Samsung has also indicated that it is expanding the supply of its 8-layer and 12-layer HBM3E chips to multiple customers. Additionally, the company is making efforts to refine its HBM3E products to align with the next-generation GPU plans of a large customer. Furthermore, Samsung is developing its 6th generation HBM4 products, with plans for mass production starting in the latter half of next year.
