Part of Intel, TSMC, and Samsung are adopting ASML's High NA EUV technology for advanced chip and DRAM production.

How could Samsung Electronics' adoption of advanced EUV technology affect Nvidia?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Samsung's advanced chip capacity may strengthen supply to Nvidia Samsung Electronics plans to begin using ASML's new High NA EUV machines at high volume around 2028. These machines are essential for pushing chip density further and manufacturing advanced components like HBM. As a critical memory supplier to Nvidia, this increased advanced capacity and capability could strengthen the supply chain, helping Nvidia meet the insatiable demand for advanced chips used in AI infrastructure. This development is part of the ongoing competition between Samsung and Nvidia in the AI semiconductor market.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • Samsung Electronics plans to start using High NA EUV machines at high volume around 2028.aol.com
  • ASML has a monopoly on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology.aol.com
  • Samsung is a critical memory supplier to Nvidia.aol.com
  • EUV machines are needed to make AI chips, CPUs, and HBM.aol.com

Why it matters

The semiconductor industry is currently driven by insatiable demand for advanced chips used in AI infrastructure. For Nvidia, which relies heavily on these advanced components, maintaining a robust and growing supply chain is paramount to meeting market demand and sustaining its leadership in the AI sector. Samsung's ability to scale up its advanced manufacturing capabilities directly impacts its standing as a key supplier in this high-stakes market.

This development occurs within a highly competitive landscape, where Samsung and Nvidia are actively competing in the AI semiconductor market. The ability of Samsung to adopt the latest, most expensive EUV technology from ASML positions it to compete more effectively and potentially increase its share of the critical supply chain that supports Nvidia's products.

What we don't know yet

  • How quickly will Samsung Electronics be able to ramp up production using the new High NA EUV machines?
  • Will the increased supply capacity from Samsung be enough to meet the accelerating demand from Nvidia?

Is this still moving?

What would change this answer

Samsung Electronics announces a significant increase in its High NA EUV machine ordersThis would confirm a strong commitment to scaling up advanced production, making the positive supply impact on Nvidia more certain.
ASML delays the delivery or rollout of its High NA EUV machinesThis would slow Samsung's ability to increase its advanced capacity, potentially limiting the positive supply impact on Nvidia.
