Samsung is also featuring its AI cloud server-inspired booth at FMS 2026, where approximately 30 memory and storage technologies are on display. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the opening keynote event, Samsung\u2019s Memory Business executives Jin-Yub Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Flash Product &amp; Technology and Kyungryun Kim, Vice President and Project Leader of the DRAM Design Team, delivered their address on next-generation 3D structures in future memory solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Titled \u201cDriving the Wave of AI Revolution: 3D Innovations in Memory &amp; Storage Architecture,\u201d the keynote presented Samsung\u2019s vision to maximize AI system performance and power efficiency while addressing the rapidly growing demands of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The company also unveiled V10 BV-NAND, an architecture enabled by a new wafer bonding technology \u2014 for the first time in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s Vision for Next-Generation 3D Memory<\/p>\n<p>At FMS 2026, Samsung unveiled the industry\u2019s first concept models of zHBM and zNAND-O, presenting its vision for the next generation of 3D memory architectures.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for advanced AI computing, zHBM presents a new memory architecture that vertically stacks HBM directly above AI accelerators, moving beyond conventional designs in which HBM is positioned alongside the processor.<\/p>\n<p>By minimizing the distance that data travels between the AI processor and memory, zHBM is designed to deliver higher bandwidth and improved power efficiency, enabling the ultra-fast data processing required for large-scale AI training and inference.<\/p>\n<p>A next-generation interface system incorporating zHBM is expected to deliver approximately eight times the performance of HBM5. With next-generation wafer bonding technology, zHBM can achieve more than 10 times the memory density of HBM5 while enhancing energy efficiency threefold and reducing thermal resistance by more than half, maximizing the stability and power efficiency of high-capacity, high-bandwidth systems.<\/p>\n<p>zHBM also supports customer-specific designs, enabling customized IP to be integrated into the interlayer between the memory and AI accelerator to expand memory capacity and enhance accelerator performance.<\/p>\n<p>Building on close collaboration with customers, Samsung plans to further optimize the integration of AI processors and memory through zHBM to maximize AI system performance.<\/p>\n<p>The company also introduced zNAND-O, a next-generation high-performance NAND solution built on its V-NAND technology and in development in four- and eight-layer versions. By combining high space efficiency, improved I\/O performance and low latency, zNAND-O is optimized for edge AI environments supporting real-time, data-intensive AI applications.<\/p>\n<p>Industry-First V10 BV-NAND<\/p>\n<p>Samsung unveiled V10 BV-NAND, featuring its new Bonding V-NAND architecture. The announcement comes 13 years after the company introduced the industry\u2019s first V-NAND technology at the 2013 Flash Memory Summit, marking another milestone in the company\u2019s NAND innovation.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 400 layers, V10 BV-NAND delivers higher performance and power efficiency while significantly increasing storage density. By applying wafer bonding technology to stack memory cells, Samsung has increased memory density by approximately 58% over the previous generation (V9).<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the increased layer count, V10 BV-NAND also improves read, write and I\/O performance over the previous generation, supporting high-performance, high-capacity NAND for future AI systems and applications.<\/p>\n<p>AI Memory Roadmap from HBM to PIM and Enterprise Storage<\/p>\n<p>Samsung also presented its latest AI memory and storage portfolio \u2014 including HBM4E, HBM5, LPDDR5X-PIM and PM1763 \u2014 highlighting its roadmap for next-generation AI computing and data center infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Following the industry\u2019s first mass production of HBM4 using its 1c DRAM and 4-nanometer (nm) base die technologies <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/global\/samsung-ships-industry-first-commercial-hbm4-with-ultimate-performance-for-ai-computing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">in February<\/a>, Samsung was the first to begin shipping HBM4E samples to global customers <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/global\/samsung-electronics-begins-shipment-of-industry-first-hbm4e-samples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">in May<\/a>, reinforcing its leadership in next-generation HBM.<\/p>\n<p>Along with its HBM4E samples and HBM5 model, the company showcased its LPDDR5X-PIM, the industry\u2019s first LPDDR memory with processing-in-memory technology. The new solution is built to perform data processing within the memory itself to improve the efficiency of both data movement and power.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition also featured Samsung\u2019s latest enterprise storage solutions \u2014 including PM1763 and BM1773 \u2014 designed to meet the growing storage demands of AI data centers.<\/p>\n<p>One-Stop Turnkey Solutions<\/p>\n<p>As the world\u2019s only integrated device manufacturer (IDM) with industry-leading capabilities spanning memory, foundry and advanced packaging, Samsung presented its end-to-end strategy for next-generation AI infrastructure, which provides customers with one-stop turnkey solutions supporting the evolving needs of the AI era.<\/p>\n<p>From product design through mass production, Samsung delivers integrated development and manufacturing services that help shorten development cycles while optimizing performance and power efficiency, enabling customers to quickly bring differentiated AI semiconductor solutions to market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Samsung-Semiconductors-Next-Gen-3D-Memory-Vision-FMS-2026_Main1.jpg\" alt=\"An image of Samsung's advanced memory technology\" class=\"wp-image-176135\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Samsung-Semiconductors-Next-Gen-3D-Memory-Vision-FMS-2026_Main2.jpg\" alt=\"An image of Samsung's advanced memory technology\" class=\"wp-image-176136\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Samsung-Semiconductors-Next-Gen-3D-Memory-Vision-FMS-2026_Main3.jpg\" alt=\"An image of Samsung's advanced memory technology\" class=\"wp-image-176137\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung Electronics a global leader in advanced memory technology, today showcased its latest AI memory innovations at Future&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[1366,55626,9540,127,276,55624,56124],"class_list":["post-109119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-samsung-electronics","tag-ai-infrastructure","tag-fms-2026","tag-memory-technology","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-electronics","tag-zhbm","tag-znand-o"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
