HBM high-bandwidth video memory was once considered a 'GDDR killer', but from a current point of view, due to cost and other factors, HBM will not be able to phase out GDDR in the short term and will be more used in high-end and professional fields. What's more, GDDR6 is coming. Vitality is still tenacious.
Although the market is still small, but due to the rapid development, and now only Samsung, SK Hynix can supply, so HBM memory is still very tight.
At the annual High Performance Computing Industry Summit in Frankfurt, Germany, Samsung said it has doubled its HBM2 memory capacity, but it is still far from meeting market demand.
Samsung started production of the second-generation HBM2 earlier this year, code-named Aquabolt, with a single package capacity of 8GB, a bandwidth of 307GB/s, eight times GDDR5, and a total capacity of 32GB for four, with a bandwidth of over 1.2TB/s.
In the consumer sector, as far as AMD RX Vega, NVIDIA Titan V and other very few products use HBM2, but in the professional market, the demand for AMD Radeon Instinct, NVIDIA Tesla is even greater, already on a single card 32GB, future products Will be further popularized, the demand is unusually strong.
With the high-bandwidth HBM2, professional cards can perform AI artificial intelligence, deep learning, neural networks, high-performance computing, FPGA and more professional tasks more efficiently.
