Shares of South Korean heavyweight Samsung Electronics soared more than 5% after chip giant Nvidia reportedly said the South Korean chipmaker’s high bandwidth memory chips were in the “qualifying” stage for use in Nvidia’s graphics processing units.
This comes after rival SK Hynix announced that it was set to deliver its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips to customers, with Reuters saying that Nvidia would be its first client.
