Samsung rides the AI wave: profit boom thanks to memory

Samsung has announced a significant increase in profits, mainly attributable to the growing demand for specialized memory for artificial intelligence applications. This increase offsets the pressures the company is facing in the smartphone and display sectors, which are also undergoing transformation due to the impact of AI.

The demand for high-performance memory, essential for training and inference of large language models (LLM) and other AI applications, has pushed Samsung's financial results upwards. The company is positioning itself as one of the main suppliers of memory solutions for this rapidly expanding market.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs between initial (CapEx) and operational (OpEx) costs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
