Samsung Electronics’ high-bandwidth reminiscence (HBM) chip has reportedly failed Nvidia’s check. Because of this, it’s analyzed that Samsung has lately changed the pinnacle of its reminiscence division.
Citing an knowledgeable supply on the twenty fourth, Reuters reported that Samsung Electronics’ HBM had failed a check for use for Nvidia GPUs final April.
Concerning this, Samsung Electronics stated, “It is a personalized reminiscence product that requires an optimization course of in response to buyer wants, and we’re within the strategy of optimizing the product by shut cooperation with prospects.”
Moreover, when it was reported that the check failed as a result of warmth and energy consumption points, the corporate responded by saying, “The declare that it failed as a result of warmth and energy consumption just isn’t true,” and “The check is continuing easily and as deliberate.”
HBM is a tool that helps course of large quantities of information generated from AI functions, and the demand has elevated together with GPUs.
Based on sources, Samsung has been making an attempt to move Nvidia’s checks for HBM3 and HBM3E since final yr. Nevertheless, in April, check outcomes for the 8-layer and 12-layer HBM3E chips failed.
Then again, SK Hynix has been supplying HBM3 to NVIDIA since June 2022, and Micron can also be anticipated to produce HBM3E.
Analysts stated Samsung Electronics seems to be feeling a way of disaster because it lags behind HBM. Because of this, it’s analyzed that the management of the semiconductor enterprise has been changed this week.
In the meantime, sources stated GPU producers equivalent to Nvidia and AMD are hoping to finalize HBM chips so Samsung can safe extra vendor choices and weaken SK Hynix’s pricing energy.
