UnverifiedThe core driver of this round of price increases is the explosive growth in HBM demand, as AI accelerator cards such as NVIDIA's H100/H200 make heavy use of HBM, prompting Samsung and SK Hynix to redirect a significant proportion of their DRAM capacity toward HBM production.79% similarUnverifiedHBM is priced at approximately 3 to 5 times that of GDDR7 per unit area, causing fabs to prioritize HBM orders when allocating capacity, which leads to GDDR7 capacity shortages.66% similarUnverifiedHBM capacity squeezing consumer electronics memory supply is a structural change that may last for years, not a short-term fluctuation.64% similarUnverifiedTraditional GPU memory relies primarily on HBM, which achieves high bandwidth through 3D stacking and ultra-wide buses but has limited capacity, high expense, and significant power consumption64% similarUnverifiedThe core driver of this round of memory price increases is the surge in demand for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), with AI server demand squeezing the supply of memory and SSDs in the consumer market63% similar
