·Samsung Electronics Vice Chair Jun Young-hyun says the meeting with Nvidia was its most productive ever Samsung Electronics and Nvidia discussed long-term memory supply deals covering seventh-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM4E) and next-generation HBM5 during Jensen Huang's final day in Korea on Monday.
·Jun Young-hyun, Samsung Electronics vice chair and head of the semiconductor division, met with Huang at Nvidia's Korea AI Ecosystem Reception at The Shilla Seoul in central Seoul.
·"From next year onward, we discussed longer-term cooperation covering HBM4E and HBM5, as well as foundry," Jun told reporters after the meeting.
·"We had a very good conversation — in fact, I'd say it was the most productive meeting we've had in all our years of working together," he said.
·Samsung sent samples of its HBM4E to clients, including Nvidia, last month, ahead of rival SK hynix and a month earlier than its own planned mid-year shipping timeline.
