Samsung reviews HBM sales strategy at global meeting

Samsung Electronics discussed expanding sales of high-bandwidth memory chips and long-term supply deals during a recent strategy meeting chaired by its Device Solutions Division head.

Samsung Electronics held its semiannual global strategy meeting last week to review first-half performance and outline plans for the second half.

The meeting on Thursday was chaired by Jun Young-hyun, head of the Device Solutions Division. Senior executives reviewed strategies to expand HBM sales and discussed long-term supply agreements with major customers.

Samsung began mass production shipments of HBM4 in February and shipped samples of HBM4E last month. The company has been working on long-term supply agreements and has signed some deals, as stated in its first-quarter earnings call.

Major customers include Nvidia, AMD and Google.
