Memory chip demand will be strong this year and into 2027, Samsung Elec executive says

SEOUL, Feb 11 (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics expects strong demand for memory chips to continue this year and extend into next, a company executive said on Wednesday, citing robust demand driven by artificial intelligence.

Song Jai-hyuk, the chief technology officer for Samsung Electronic’s chip division, also said at the Semicon trade show customer feedback on the company’s next-generation high-bandwidth memory chip, or HBM4, has been “very satisfactory.”
