Sandisk and SK hynix Advance Global Standardization of High Bandwidth Flash with Release of First OCP Technical Specification
Open Compute Project Specification provides foundation for High Bandwidth Flash adoption in AI inference systems
Sandisk Corporation (Nasdaq: SNDK) and SK hynix Inc. today announced the release of the HBF™ (High Bandwidth Flash) technical specification through the Open Compute Project (OCP), advancing the workstream to drive HBF standardization for the AI inference era, just six months after the consortium began work in February.

The specification was developed through the HBF technology workstream under OCP, with Sandisk and SK hynix serving as primary contributors. Notably, Google and Tenstorrent joined as consortium members during this standardization process, contributing significantly to technology validation and the establishment of the standard. The specification provides companies and developers designing AI inference systems and accelerators with a common technical framework for incorporating HBF technology where larger, near-compute memory capacity and higher bandwidth are needed to improve power and performance metrics and help reduce total cost of ownership.
