The company "plans to further strengthen its proven quality, technological leadership and mass-production capabilities," by "stably supplying both HBM3E and HBM4" chips, SK Hynix said. "For Samsung and SK Hynix, while AI has driven a meaningful increase in memory demand, the technical barriers for HBM have also risen," she told AFP.
