February 13, 2026

SAMSUNG Electronics announced yesterday it had started mass production of next-generation memory chips to power artificial intelligence, touting an "industry-leading" breakthrough.

The high-bandwidth HBM4 chips are seen as a key component needed to scale-up the vast data centres powering the explosion in artificial intelligence.

US tech giant Nvidia - the world's most valuable company - is widely expected to be one of Samsung's main buyers.

Samsung said it had "begun mass production of its industry-leading HBM4 and has shipped commercial products to customers".

"This achievement marks a first in the industry, securing an early leadership position in the HBM4 market," the South Korean company said.

A global frenzy to build AI data centres has sent orders for advanced, high-bandwidth memory microchips soaring.
