Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says Samsung’s advanced High Bandwidth Memory chips still aren’t ready for official certification. Nvidia’s sign-off is the last step before Samsung can begin supplying HBM3 and HBM3e components, essential to training Nvidia artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.
SK hynix is currently the primary supplier of HBM3 and HBM3e memory to Nvidia. These chips are important for the fast and efficient training of AI models, including ChatGPT and others. Nvidia is examining HBM chips produced by Samsung and Micron, but it hasn’t yet endorsed their usage. More engineering work is needed, Huang told reporters. However, it isn't entirely certain which engineers have the most work to do - those at Samsung or Nvidia (or a team involving both).
