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.
Stock Market Reactions: Following the news, Samsung's stock initially rose but later fell by 0.1%, while SK Hynix's stock dropped by 2.9%.
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.
