South Korean company Samsung has announced the first commercial shipments of the latest high-speed HBM4 memory modules designed for AI processors, Bloomberg reports. Although in an official statement the company did not name the customer, earlier several media outlets wrote that the next-generation memory chips are needed for AI processors made by Nvidia. HBM4 is expected to be used in Vera Rubin gas pedals, the agency writes.
Samsung managed to outpace its competitors, signaling the company's return to the top of the market after a period of lagging behind Micron and SK Hynix in recent years, Bloomberg notes.
"We are now demonstrating Samsung's true potential once again," said semiconductor division president and chief technology officer Jeyheok Son this week. - At one point in time, we were not fully demonstrating our ability to respond to customer needs with world-class technology, but now we can talk about getting back to our roots."
Shares of Samsung at the end of trading on February 12 in Seoul jumped by 6.4%. Quotes SK Hynix rose by 3.2%. Micron added 3.2% of value at the premarket in the United States.
