As market attention focuses on NVIDIA's certification of Samsung Electronics' 5th generation high-bandwidth memory HBM3E, claims have emerged that Samsung Electronics has completed quality testing of the HBM3E 8-stack product and started supply.
On the 3rd, Taiwanese market research firm TrendForce stated, "Although Samsung entered the market somewhat later compared to SK Hynix and US-based Micron, it recently completed HBM3E certification and began shipping HBM3E 8-stack products for the H200," adding, "Certification for the Blackwell series is also progressing smoothly." The H200 is NVIDIA's latest graphics processing unit (GPU) equipped with HBM3E (8-stack).
TrendForce explained, "This year, NVIDIA's product lineup will cause a big stir with the H200 being the first GPU to feature the HBM3E 8-stack memory stack," and added, "The soon-to-be-released Blackwell is also planned to fully adopt HBM3E."
Earlier, Reuters reported last month that Samsung Electronics had passed quality testing for supplying HBM3E (8-stack) to NVIDIA; however, Samsung Electronics effectively denied the report, stating, "We are conducting tests with major customers."
