Jensen Huang: "Both SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics Are Excellent Supply Partners"

Samsung Remains Silent on HBM Quality Test
"HBM Is Very Important to Us"

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, emphasized on the 4th during a media Q&A held at the Grand Hi-Lai Taipei in Taipei, Taiwan, that "SK Hynix, Micron, and Samsung Electronics, the three companies supplying high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to NVIDIA, are all excellent memory supply partners."

He did not respond to recent reports from U.S. foreign media that Samsung Electronics' 12-stack 36GB HBM3E product failed NVIDIA's qual test (quality verification), but it is interpreted that he indicated Samsung Electronics is also considered a partner company and maintains a close cooperative relationship.

CEO Huang stated, "The current lineup of artificial intelligence (AI) chips that NVIDIA holds requires considerable speed, and HBM is a very important component for us," adding, "NVIDIA is working to ensure that the three suppliers are qualified and can adapt to our manufacturing system as quickly as possible."
