Samsung Electronics is reportedly set to exclusively supply sixth-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM4) to OpenAI while reallocating more than half of its advanced foundry capacity to internal production, according to Hankyung and industry sources. The move underscores the South Korean chipmaker’s drive to meet surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) components as orders from major customers — including Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) — continue to accelerate.

As Nvidia and Coherent signal a shift toward all-optical networking to solve the AI power crisis, Redmond-based Lumotive has announced a milestone that could redefine data center scalability. In an interview with DIGITIMES Asia, Gleb Akselrod, Co-founder and CTO of Lumotive, detailed the success of the world’s first programmable 2D optical beamforming chip.

Samsung Electronics’ foundry business is showing signs of stabilization after a sustained period of market share decline, as new orders from Nvidia and Tesla underscore its ability to manufacture high-value artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors, according to Maeil Business News Korea and EBN.
