Samsung has announced that it is extending its HBM roadmap by shipping HBM4E samples to global customers who run massive AI networks. This comes about a month after the company reportedly paused mass production of its flagship 10nm DRAM, since the costs outweighed the returns, and the expected yields were too low.
HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), if you do not know, is a specialized memory architecture that stacks Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) layers vertically and places them directly next to the processor to accelerate things like AI and advanced graphics.
