- 1Samsung to more than double HBM4 and HBM4E outputβSamsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM
Samsung is expected to more than double its production of HBM4 and HBM4E high-bandwidth memory DRAM next year, according to a report citing sources. The expansion targets surging demand for advanced memory used in AI accelerators, where Samsung competes with SK Hynix and Micron for supply deals with chip and data-center customers.
- 2US Falls Behind on Memory Chips as Tariffs Add PressureβΌAmerica Is Behind on Memory Chipsβand Tariffs Threaten to Make Things Harder
The United States lags badly in memory chip production, an area dominated by Asian manufacturers, and new tariffs threaten to worsen the situation. With semiconductors central to AI, defense and consumer electronics, analysts warn that trade barriers could raise costs and slow efforts to build domestic capacity at exactly the moment Washington is trying to catch up.
- 3When will the global memory chip shortage end?βWhen will the memory shortage end? The current memory market is being shaped by a mix of AI infrastructure demand, limit
Analysts and industry watchers are debating how long the current shortage of memory chips will last. Demand from AI infrastructure, limited wafer capacity, and the shift of production toward HBM are squeezing supply of conventional DRAM and NAND. Building new manufacturing capacity takes years, so many expect tight supply and high prices to persist well into the coming years, though forecasts differ on the exact timeline.
