Samsung Begins Shipping HBM4 Chips to Boost AI Position

/in /tarafından

Samsung Electronics said it has started shipping its most advanced high-bandwidth memory chips, HBM4, as it seeks to close the gap with rivals in supplying critical components for artificial intelligence accelerators.

Demand for high-performance memory has surged amid the global buildout of AI data centers. HBM chips are essential for feeding large volumes of data into AI accelerators, including those developed by Nvidia. Samsung has previously trailed competitors such as SK Hynix in delivering earlier-generation HBM products.

Samsung said its HBM4 chips deliver a consistent processing speed of 11.7 gigabits per second, a 22% improvement over its HBM3E predecessor, with peak speeds reaching 13 Gbps to address growing data bottlenecks. The company added that it plans to provide samples of next-generation HBM4E chips in the second half of the year.

Shares of Samsung rose following the announcement, reflecting investor optimism about its efforts to regain momentum in the competitive AI memory market. SK Hynix, which has maintained a leading position in HBM production, has said it aims to preserve its strong market share as competition intensifies. Meanwhile, U.S.-based Micron Technology has also begun high-volume production and customer shipments of HBM4.

The rollout underscores intensifying competition among memory manufacturers as AI infrastructure expansion continues to drive demand for faster, more efficient chip technologies.

New Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra renders show off the phone's new look, while a specs leak points to old cameras | TechRadar

Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked 2026 event is set to take place later this month, where the company is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, alongside the new Galaxy Buds 4 lineup. Ahead of the official announcement, freshly leaked renders have surfaced online, offering a detailed look at all three smartphones and hinting at key design refinements.

According to the leaked images, the Galaxy S26 series will feature a pill-shaped rear camera module across all models, consistent with earlier rumors. The standard Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ appear to house triple rear camera setups, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra stands out with a quad-camera system. Notably, one of the Ultra’s sensors is positioned outside the main camera island, accompanied by the LED flash, giving it a slightly distinct visual identity.

On the front, all three devices are expected to sport a hole-punch display with slim bezels and flat metal frames. The power button and volume rockers are placed on the right side, maintaining Samsung’s familiar layout. Under the hood, reports suggest that the Galaxy S26 and S26+ could be powered by Samsung’s new Exynos 2600 chipset, built on an advanced 2nm process, while the Ultra variant may feature a flagship Snapdragon processor in select markets.

The leaked renders also highlight changes to the S Pen on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The stylus slot is rumored to have been repositioned to the corner of the device, and the S Pen itself appears to feature a subtly curved top and possibly a thinner tip. With the launch event scheduled for February 25 in San Francisco, excitement is building as Samsung prepares to officially reveal its next-generation flagship lineup to the global market.

Samsung Reportedly Shifts Focus, Plans to Produce More Galaxy Z Fold 8 Than Flip 8 in 2026 - BigGo News

Samsung continues to expand its presence in the foldable smartphone market with strong momentum. The company introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in India in July 2025 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. These devices helped Samsung maintain its leadership in the premium foldable segment. Shortly after their release, rumors about the next generation—namely the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8—began to emerge, giving early hints about what consumers can expect from the upcoming models.

New reports now suggest that Samsung is adjusting its production strategy in favor of the book-style foldable. According to South Korean publication ETHome, the company is planning to manufacture around 3.5 million units of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, while production of the Galaxy Z Flip 8 is expected to be limited to approximately 3 million units. This indicates that Samsung is placing greater confidence in the demand for its larger foldable device rather than the more compact clamshell model.

The decision reportedly comes after strong sales performance from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last year. Industry sources claim that the Fold model outperformed the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in several key markets, prompting Samsung to prioritize its successor. By increasing production of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the company appears to be preparing for higher global demand and ensuring sufficient stock ahead of its official launch.

Although these plans have not yet been officially confirmed by Samsung, expectations are high that both new foldables will arrive in the second half of this year. If the reports prove accurate, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could become Samsung’s main focus in the foldable category for 2026. More concrete details regarding specifications, pricing, and availability are likely to surface as the launch period approaches.
