SK Hynix Unveils Advanced HBM4E Memory For AI Workloads In a statement, the South Korean memory giant said that it has started supplying samples of its next-generation 12-layer HBM4E chips for customer evaluation.
The new memory delivers transfer speeds of up to 16 gigabits per second per pin and offers more than 20% better power efficiency compared with previous-generation products.
HBM is a critical component in AI accelerators and graphics processors because it enables faster movement of massive datasets required to train and run advanced AI models.
The technology is widely used alongside AI chips produced by Nvidia.
