NVIDIA needs a lot of high-bandwidth memory chips, , which are used for its current and next-generation AI chips. As one of the world's leading suppliers of AI chips, you can imagine that NVIDIA has considerable demand for HBM3E modules.
SK Hynix has emerged as a leading supplier of high-bandwidth memory to NVIDIA. Samsung has been trying to win those orders for its HBM3E modules, which NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang . Recent reports had claimed that Samsung's memory chips had failed NVIDIA's quality tests, but that's not the case, as NVIDIA has confirmed.
Earlier reports had claimed that Samsung's HBM3E were largely due to power consumption and heat issues. , adding that the testing processing was going smoothly and as planned. NVIDIA had remained quiet on the matter but it has finally broken its silence.
NVIDIA has that it's still working on the certification process for high-bandwidth memory from Samsung. It confirms that Samsung hasn't outright failed the tests and there may be hope yet for the company to win major orders from NVIDIA.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang confirmed to reporters today that HBM chips from both Samsung and Micron are being evaluated. SK Hynix is already a part of its supply chain, and the company is reaping the benefits of being the leading supplier of advanced memory chips to NVIDIA.
Huang also mentioned that while Samsung's HBM3E chips haven't failed any qualification tests, the modules need more engineering work. When asked directly about previous reports of Samsung's modules failing tests due to heat and power issues, Huang set the record straight, saying that “There's no story there.”
