Samsung Reportedly Charges Data Centers Up to 25% More for HBM Than Rivals

Samsung is estimated to quote $4.50 per HBM unit, up to 25% above Micron's roughly $4 and SK hynix's $3.60–3.80, according to an industry interview. The premium is tied to reliable supply and in-house fabs, where HBM4 yields are said to reach 80%.

• Samsung quotes $4.50 for HBM versus $4 at Micron and $3.60–3.80 at SK hynix
• HBM4 is priced at about 3x the HBM3E quote, in the mid-to-high $4 range
• Samsung's HBM4 yields are estimated at 80%
• Its mature 4nm process reduces defects and frees capacity for HBM4 output
