[Anchor] As NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced that Samsung Electronics is speeding up the process of obtaining approval for the supply of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), there is analysis that the two companies are close to collaborating on the AI ​​(artificial intelligence) chip business. While this is a green light for Samsung to recover its semiconductor competitiveness, there are growing concerns that it may miss the golden time due to legal risks. Kim Hye-young reports. [Reporter] The green light has been given for Samsung Electronics to supply its high-bandwidth memory, HBM3E, to NVIDIA. This is because NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced that Samsung Electronics is speeding up the process of obtaining approval for HBM. As the quality tests that have been ongoing for the past year or so are nearing their end, there are also predictions that full-scale mass production will begin early next year. This is a stepping stone for a comeback to catch up with SK Hynix, which is speeding up its efforts to dominate the market. CEO Jensen Huang said, “We are currently testing Samsung Electronics’ 5th generation HBM (HBM3E) 8-layer and 12-layer products,” and “We are working as quickly as possible to obtain approval for delivery.” NVIDIA, a big player in the AI ​​market, accounts for more than 80% of the global AI semiconductor market. Meanwhile, Chairman Lee Jae-yong is still tied up by legal risks. The various trials that began in 2015 have been ongoing for 9 years this year. Chairman Lee appeared today (the 25th) at the final hearing of the appeal trial for the ‘unfair merger and accounting fraud’ suspicion case. It has been about 10 months since he was found not guilty in the first trial in February. There are many opinions in the business world that the golden time could be missed due to the prolonged absence of the CEO. [Sync] Kim Dae-jong / Professor of Business Administration, Sejong University “We need to be more active in (responding to) the 4th industrial revolution, but I think that Samsung’s biggest crisis is that it cannot make a quick decision due to owner risk. Samsung Electronics can establish a long-term strategy and grow like in the past only if it quickly shakes off the legal risk…” Samsung Electronics received a poor report card for the third quarter. A sense of crisis spread as the operating profit of the semiconductor division, which accounts for 70% of total operating profit, shrank, and the stock price plummeted to 40,000 won. Although it is trying to put out the fire urgently by purchasing its own stocks worth 10 trillion won, there is analysis that the CEO’s management leadership is essential to improve its core competitiveness. Samsung Electronics closed today at 57,900 won, up 3.39% from the previous trading day.
