Samsung’s HBM3 chips will, for now, only be used in a less sophisticated Nvidia graphics processing unit

Samsung Electronics’ fourth-generation high bandwidth memory or HBM3 chips have been cleared by Nvidia for use in its processors for the first time, three people briefed on the matter said.

Samsung has also yet to meet Nvidia’s standards for fifth-generation HBM3E chips and testing of those chips is continuing, the people added, declining to be identified as they were not authorized to speak to media.HBM is a type of dynamic random access memory or DRAM standard first produced in 2013 in which chips are vertically stacked to save space and reduce power consumption.

Nvidia’s need to have more access to HBM3 is also set to grow as SK Hynix – the clear leader in the field – plans to increase its HBM3E production and make less HBM3, two of the sources said.Samsung, the world’s largest maker of memory chips, has been seeking to pass Nvidia’s tests for both HBM3 and HBM3E since last year but has struggled due to heat and power consumption issues, Reuters reported in May, citing sources.
