SEOUL -- Samsung expects to begin supplying its most advanced memory chips for artificial intelligence by the end of June, as its competition with SK Hynix, the global leader in the sector, heats up.

Commercialization of its latest high-bandwidth memory chip, dubbed HBM3e, was going "smoothly," Samsung said on Tuesday, the same day it announced that its chipmaking unit had returned to profit in the first quarter.
