HBM 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.

UnverifiedGDDR7 and HBM have a production capacity competition at the process level, and the demand for HBM from data center GPUs is squeezing the capacity allocation for consumer-grade GDDR7.79% similarUnverifiedThe per-unit price of HBM3e is more than 5 to 8 times that of conventional DRAM of the same capacity.76% similarUnverifiedCompared to conventional GDDR6 memory, HBM can deliver 3–5 times higher memory bandwidth while consuming less power and occupying a smaller package footprint.73% similarUnverifiedThe 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.70% similarUnverifiedHBM chips are currently supplied mainly by SK Hynix and Samsung, and capacity expansion is far outpaced by demand growth.66% similar
