Samsung’s HBM3 chips fail Nvidia tests because of overheating issues
Samsung Electronics’ latest high bandwidth memory chips have yet to pass Nvidia ’s tests for use in the U.S. firm’s AI processors due to heat and power consumption problems, three people briefed on the issues said.
Satisfying Nvidia – which commands around 80 per cent of the global GPU market for AI applications – is seen as key to future growth for HBM manufacturers – both reputationally and in terms of profit momentum. The sources, two of whom were briefed on the matter by Samsung officials, spoke on condition of anonymity as the information was confidential.New chip unit head
Although Samsung has yet to become a supplier of HBM3 to Nvidia, it does supply customers such as Advanced Micro Devices and is aiming to begin mass production of HBM3E chips in the second quarter. Samsung said in its statement to Reuters that its product schedule is proceeding as planned. GPU manufacturers like Nvidia and AMD are keen for Samsung to perfect its HBM chips so they can have more vendor options and weaken SK Hynix’s pricing power, the sources also said.
