Samsung Electronics on Friday said it started shipping samples of its latest high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chip to customers, pulling ahead of rivals in distributing a new version of the product critical to AI data centers and sending its shares higher. Samsung said the chip uses its latest 1c DRAM process technology - sixth-generation, 10-nanometer-class DRAM - alongside Samsung's 4-nanometer foundry logic base die. The rollout is part of Samsung's efforts to regain momentum in the HBM market after falling behind rivals like SK Hynix and Micron in supplying advanced artificial intelligence memory chips, particularly to Nvidia.
