SK hynix says it has shipped samples of 12-high high-bandwidth memory 4E (HBM4E) to major customers for next-generation AI processors. The company states the samples are delivered on schedule and that it will work with partners to move toward mass production “in a timely manner.” HBM4E is described as the seventh generation of high-performance DRAM used in GPUs and other AI accelerators. SK hynix says the 12-high configuration offers improvements in both performance and power efficiency, including a maximum data-transfer speed of 16 gigabits per second (Gbps) per pin. According to the company, HBM4E uses advanced technology intended to improve thermal characteristics and stability, including reported reductions in heat resistance compared with prior designs. The Korea Times also notes the broader roadmap for related HBM generations, describing HBM4’s use in Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform and expectations that HBM4E will be used for the subsequent Vera Rubin Ultra platform. Overall, the reporting aligns that the HBM4E samples are being prepared for partner evaluation ahead of production.

- SK hynix shipped samples of 12-high HBM4E to major customers for next-generation AI processors.
- The samples are delivered on schedule, and SK hynix says it will coordinate with partners for timely mass production.
- HBM4E is the seventh generation of HBM, a DRAM technology used in GPUs and AI accelerators.
- SK hynix states HBM4E reaches a maximum speed of 16 Gbps per pin.
- SK hynix reports improvements in power efficiency and thermal/stability characteristics compared with previous HBM generations.
SK hynix said Thursday it has shipped samples of high-bandwidth memory 4E (HBM4E) for next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) processors to major customers. The company said it delivered 12-high HBM4E samples on schedule, and will work closely with partners for mass production “in a timely manner.” HBM4E is the seventh generation of HBM, a high-performance DRAM designed for rapid data processing and used in graphics processing units (GPUs) and other AI accelerators that require massive computing power. The previous version, HBM4, is set to be used for Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI supercomputer, which will be released in the third quarter, and HBM4E is expected to be used for Vera Rubin Ultra platform next year. SK hynix said the 12-high HBM4E delivers improvements in both performance and power efficiency. The product offers a maximum data transfer speed of 16 gigabits per second (Gbps) per pin and more than 20 percent higher power efficiency compared to previous models. The HBM4E reduces data transfer latency through its latest interface and design optimization while maintaining stab
