OUR TAKE Samsung Electronics is on a roll in the AI chip game. They just got the green light from Nvidia for their new HBM3 memory chips, marking a big turnaround after some tough times behind rival SK Hynix. With the approval, Samsung can quickly ramp up production using its strong financial base and large manufacturing facilities. Analysts such as those at Morgan Stanley are very bullish on Samsung’s future, predicting a nice gain in market share by 2025, which could mean an extra $4 billion in profits. Despite previous setbacks, Samsung, with Jun Young-hyun at the helm, is racing to stay ahead in the fast-growing AI market. — Heidi Luo , BTW reporter Samsung Electronics has just made a huge leap forward in the AI chip market. They’ve got the thumbs up from AI giant Nvidia for their new HBM3 memory chips, according to Bloomberg.

Analysis
It’s a big deal for their comeback. After some tough times and falling behind their rival SK Hynix , this approval is a sign that things are turning around. Samsung does, however, have a significant advantage in terms of financial resources and production capacity. If it meets Nvidia’s criteria for approval, it can ramp up production quickly, overcoming the bottlenecks that have held back Nvidia and other AI proponents. “Micron and Hynix don’t have the capacity yet to support the entire market,” said Silverman of Bloomberg Intelligence. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang “wants to encourage them” because more supply is needed, he added. Also read: Nvidia approves Samsung’s HBM3 for China market GPUs
