Nvidia Clears Memory's Big Three for Vera Rubin HBM4 Supply

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Jensen Huang confirmed at GTC Taipei 2026 on June 1 that all three major memory manufacturers — Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology — have been qualified and are already in production as HBM4 suppliers for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI platform. The announcement ended months of supply-chain speculation and, for Micron, reversed a narrative that had pressured the stock since March.

The qualification matters beyond the supplier list. Vera Rubin is Nvidia’s next-generation AI infrastructure platform, combining Vera CPUs with Rubin GPUs and large HBM4 memory stacks per server. It is in full production and scheduled to begin shipping in Q3 2026. HBM4 doubles the interface width of its predecessor, with the JEDEC standard supporting up to 2 TB/s per stack on a 2,048-bit bus versus approximately 1 TB/s for HBM3E. Every major hyperscaler ordering Vera Rubin systems will depend on this memory supply chain holding.
