The company uses the process for the Exynos 2400 chipset, the brain of its flagship AI smartphone Galaxy S24 series.“The 4 nm process is much costlier than the 7 nm and 8 nm but it is significantly better than them in terms of chip performance and power consumption,” said an industry source.“Samsung, which manufactures the HBM3E with 10 nm process, aims to take the throne in the HBM sector by applying the 4nm process.”The Suwon, South Korea-based tech giant had been expected to use 7 m or 8 nm foundry process for the production of the HBM4 logic dies.
Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s top memory chipmaker, plans to use its cutting-edge 4-nanometer (nm) foundry process for the mass production of a next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) model, a core chip in powering artificial intelligence devices, to take on larger rivals in the sector – SK Hynix Inc.and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.(TSMC).
The company plans to seek optimization from the design stage of a logic die for maximizing the performance of HBM4 chips with its system LSI division, a fabless organization.“Unlike TSMC and SK Hynix, it is our unique strength for chip designers to participate in HBM4 production,” a Samsung executive.
