SAMSUNG TO USE TSMC TECHNOLOGY FOR NVIDIA NEXT - GENERATION MEMORY CHIPS : REPORT
Samsung adopting TSMC technology for Nvidia next-gen memory chips signals major supply-chain shift.
Context
What happened: Samsung Electronics will use TSMC's 3-nanometre process to produce base dies for Nvidia's next-generation custom high-bandwidth memory chips, the Seoul Economic Daily reported.
Why it matters: Nvidia asked Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron to use TSMC's process for NVHBM base dies, aiming to standardise implementation across memory suppliers. Samsung will keep in-house production for standard HBM and is assessing its own foundry if demand exceeds TSMC's capacity.
