SK hynix, which notably supplies memory chips to NVIDIA (among other customers), said it has begun volume production of the world's first 12-layer high bandwidth memory 3E (HBM3E) chips in a 36GB capacity, which is the largest capacity of any existing HBM product to date. According to SK hynix, customers will get...Read more...
The rise of AI is pushing up the prices of the hardware necessary to run it, and this includes HBM memory. Avril Wu, Senior Research Vice President at TrendForce, says that the market for HBM memory will see strong growth thanks to AI chips that require ever more memory and memory bandwith for its...Read more...
Talk about a 'hold my beer' moment. Just yesterday, Micron was thumping its chest over having kicked its 24GB 8-stack High Bandwidth Memory 3E (HBM3E) solution with blistering bandwidth of more than 1.2 terabytes per second (TB/s) into mass production. Now a day later, Samsung is touting the development of the...Read more...
In case you haven't noticed, the era of artificial intelligence (AI) is being ushered in at a blistering pace, thanks in large parts to NVIDIA's high-end GPU and accelerator solutions—its data center business outpaced its gaming division by 4X last quarter (in terms of revenue). Of course, it takes a village, as well...Read more...
If you're coming to us from a PC gaming perspective, you're almost assuredly aware of the standard DDR5 memory and the graphics-optimized GDDR6(X) memory. You might not be familiar with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). This technology uses an extremely wide 1024-bit connection to the host processor, and that's *per...Read more...
Samsung just annoucned its next-generation HBM3E "Shinebolt" and GDDR7 memory. While Samsung may have lagged behind rival memory manufacturers SK Hynix and Micron in launching HBM3E, Shinebolt is poised to be the fastest HBM3E for the high performance computing (or HPC) industry. Meanwhile, Samsung is leading the pack...Read more...
SK hynix has developed what it claims is the world's best performing HBM3e memory with throughput of up to 1.15 terabytes (TB) per second. Translated into real-world workloads, that's fast enough to process more than 230 Full HD 1080p movies (each one 5GB in size) in a single second. That's kind of mind-boggling when...Read more...
NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang donned his signature leather jacket to take the stage at SIGGRAPH 2023 and deliver the opening keynote for today's sessions at the famed rendering conference. Most of his talk today was about generative AI and how it is changing the world, largely powered by his company's GPUs. He did have...Read more...
