Description:
SK hynix is set to debut a new HBM3E chip on the same stage Samsung will be showcasing its memory products.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Samsung is set to showcase numerous new products at the forthcoming International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), including a superfast DDR5 memory chip, 280 layer QLC NAND flash memory, and the the world's
fastest GDDR7 .

But while Samsung will certainly draw a lot of attention, its not the only game in town, as its South Korean rival SK hynix is also set to reveal its
new HBM3E DRAM straight after Samsung finishes talking about its 3D-NAND
flash memory at the High-Density Memory and Interfaces session.

HBM3E (High Bandwidth Memory gen 3 Extended) is a groundbreaking memory technology that offers a significant leap in performance and power efficiency and is designed to meet the escalating demands of high-performance computing, AI, and graphics applications. Nvidia has a choice

HBM3E is the 5th generation of HBM, and interconnects multiple DRAM chips vertically, significantly increasing data processing speed, capacity, and
heat dissipation.

According to SK hynix, its new memory chip can process data up to 1.15 terabytes per second, equivalent to processing over 230 Full-HD movies of 5GB each in a second. It also boasts a 10% improvement in heat dissipation,
thanks to the implementation of the cutting-edge Advanced Mass Reflow Molded Underfill technology (or MR-MUF).

SK Hynix sees its HBM3E as the driving force behind AI tech innovation, but
it could also power Nvidias most powerful GPU ever the B100 Blackwell AI
GPU. Micron has stated it wont release the next generation of its high-bandwidth memory unit, HBM4, until 2025. This has led to speculation
that Nvidia may seek an alternative supplier for the B100 Blackwell .

Although Samsung was considered the most likely contender for this , with its new Shinebolt HBM3E memory, SK Hynix is well-positioned to step in with its new product.

Theres no official word on this yet, but it likely wont be long until we find out which of the Korean companies Nvidia chooses.
