Samsung nears Nvidia’s approval for key AI chipsBloombergSamsung Electronics Co is getting close to securing certification from Nvidia Corp for the latest version of its artificial intelligence (AI) memory chip, called HBM4, making progress in narrowing the gap with rival SK Hynix Inc. Nvidia uses vast quantities of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips to enable its AI accelerators. Samsung Electronics Co’s HBM4 chips are displayed at the Korea Tech Festival in Seoul on Dec. 4 last year. So far, Nvidia has leaned most heavily on SK Hynix for the most sophisticated memory chips it pairs with its top-of-the-line AI accelerators. Samsung and SK Hynix are slated to hold their earnings calls on Thursday, and they are expected to discuss progress on their HBM4 chips.
