DRAM
SK Hynix said that it had started volume production of its HBM3E memory and would supply it to a customer in late March. The South Korean company will be the second DRAM producer to announce mass production of HBM3E, so the market of ultra-high-performance memory will have some competition, which is good for companies that plan to use HBM3E. According to specifications, SK Hynix's HBM3E known good stack dies (KGSDs) feature a 9.2 GT/s data transfer rate, a 1024-bit interface, and a bandwidth of 1.18 TB/s, which is massively higher than the 6.4 GT/s and 819 GB/s offered by HBM3. The company does not say whether it mass produces 8Hi 24GB HBM3E memory modules or 12Hi 36GB HBM3E devices, but it will likely begin its...
