Samsung to Start HBM4 Chip Production Next Month
26 Jan
Summary
- Samsung plans to begin HBM4 chip production in February 2026.
- The company will supply its next-generation chips to Nvidia.
- Samsung aims to catch up with rival SK Hynix in advanced memory chips.
Samsung Electronics is preparing to launch production of its advanced HBM4 memory chips in February 2026. The company intends to supply these next-generation chips to Nvidia, a key player in the artificial intelligence hardware sector. This initiative marks a significant push by Samsung to strengthen its position in the high-bandwidth memory market.
Samsung has been striving to close the gap with its primary competitor, SK Hynix, which has been a leading supplier of advanced memory chips essential for Nvidia's AI accelerators. Earlier in the past year, Samsung experienced supply delays that affected its financial performance and stock value. The upcoming HBM4 production is seen as a critical step to regain market share.
Both Samsung and SK Hynix are expected to provide further details on their HBM4 orders and production plans when they announce their fourth-quarter earnings this Thursday. Nvidia's CEO has indicated that the company's next-generation chips, designed to be paired with HBM4, are already in full production and are slated for release later this year.
