SK hynix completes HBM4 development, mass production ready

SK hynix has completed the development of high-bandwidth memory 4 (HBM4), a next-generation memory for artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators, which is now ready for mass production, the chipmaker said Friday. SK hynix is the first chipmaker in the world to complete mass production of HBM4, the sixth generation of the advanced dynamic random access memory (DRAM) variant, which stacks multiple DRAM chips to dramatically boost data processing speeds compared to conventional products. “The completion of HBM4 development marks a milestone in the semiconductor industry,” SK hynix HBM development head Cho Joo-hwan said. “By supplying the product that meets customer needs in performance, power efficiency and reliability in a timely manner, SK hynix will fulfill its time to market and maintain a competitive position.” SK hynix has cemented its status as the world’s most influential memory chipmaker on the back of its dominant supply of HBM3 and HBM3E for Nvidia’s AI accelerators. As demand rises, chipmakers are scrambling to secure an early lead in HBM4. SK hynix has pulled aheadWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
