Samsung says its AI memory chips are sold out for next year

Samsung said its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply for AI data centres is sold out for next year, with key customers seeking more, and expects AI-driven demand in 2027 to far exceed industry supply. Rival SK Hynix said its DRAM and HBM chips are sold out through 2029 and plans to return about $75 billion to shareholders, while Samsung kept a more conservative outlook.
