Some bearish noise circling this morning on Samsung’s HBM4 timeline—2H mass production now likely slipping to 2025, with PRA pushed to Q4. Early R&D tests show ~65% yield (on compute dies), but mass production yield still uncertain. Sample shipments to key clients like NVIDIA due this quarter (slipped a bit). Full 1c DRAM redesign shows promise, but yield stability and cost remain swing factors.
