Google has rejected Samsung's HBM3E chips due to overheating issues
According to recent reports, Google, which previously planned to use HBM3E chips from Samsung in its server processors for AI, has decided to switch to products from another supplier, presumably Micron.
Here's What We Know
The main reason for Google's refusal is cited as Samsung's inability to fix heat management issues, which was a key factor in NVIDIA's certification. While Samsung's competitor, SK Hynix, has already made significant strides and increased profits thanks to HBM3E sales, Samsung continues to face challenges. The company has made changes to its chip design, but NVIDIA's approval remains elusive.
Samsung acknowledged its failures at the shareholder meeting and said it intends to focus on developing the next generation of HBM4 chips to avoid a repeat of the current problems. However, whether the company will be able to regain its position in the market is still questionable.
