Investing.com – Samsung Electronics has begun shipping its most advanced high-bandwidth memory product, HBM4, becoming the world’s first company to mass-produce and ship this high-performance chip.

The South Korean tech giant announced on Thursday that, after falling behind competitors in recent quarters, its goal is to dominate the HBM4 market.

Samsung Electronics did not disclose which customers are purchasing its HBM4 products, which are key components for artificial intelligence chips.

As the world’s largest memory chip manufacturer, Samsung Electronics primarily competes with SK Hynix and Micron Technology and has been working to establish itself as Nvidia’s main HBM4 supplier.

SK Hynix has announced that it has completed its own HBM4 product development and is preparing to ship these advanced chips. The company has historically led the market for previous generations of high-bandwidth memory.

This development comes as the global AI chip market is experiencing rapid growth, driving HBM suppliers to accelerate production and innovation.

Samsung expects its HBM business revenue to more than double by 2026 and is actively expanding its HBM4 production capacity. The company also plans to ship an upgraded version called HBM4E later this year.
