Samsung's AI Memory Chip Certification: Samsung Electronics is nearing certification from Nvidia for its new AI memory chip, HBM4, which could help it compete more effectively with SK Hynix.

Certification Process: Samsung has entered the final certification stage with Nvidia after providing initial samples last September, as Nvidia requires significant amounts of HBM for its AI accelerators.
Industry Context: Despite Samsung's advancements, it still trails behind SK Hynix and Micron in the AI memory sector, although stock prices for all three companies have surged amid the ongoing AI boom.
