1. Samsung Begins Mass Production of HBM4 Chips
Samsung has started large-scale production of its next-generation HBM4 high-bandwidth memory chips aimed at data center and AI applications. This accelerates Samsung’s competitive edge in memory technology and heightens pressure on Micron, which is still developing its own HBM4 solutions.
2. AI-Focused ETF Extends Rebound After Three Weeks of Losses
An AI-focused exchange-traded fund extended its rebound this week following three consecutive weekly losses, signaling renewed investor appetite for AI and technology sector equities.
