Global HBM battle begins!

A huge wave of AI set off by ChatGPT is sweeping the world. In the era of AI, in order to meet massive data storage and increasingly heavy computing requirements, the semiconductor Memory field is also ushering in new changes, and the global HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) storage technology war is gradually heating up. Semiconductor companies are jumping into the fray.
Well-known chip manufacturers such as AMD, NVIDIA, Intel and others have adopted HBM technology in their new graphics processors (Gpus) and other chip products to improve performance and power efficiency. HBM is also widely used in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and data centers.
In addition to technological innovation and performance competition, supply chain stability is also an important factor in the global HBM battle. Due to the high manufacturing complexity of HBM technology, cooperation between suppliers and capacity competition have also become key factors affecting the market landscape.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other fields, HBM technology has a broad application prospect. Major manufacturers will continue to compete fiercely in the research and development and application of HBM technology, injecting new vitality into the development of the global semiconductor industry.



What is HBM?

HBM stands for "High Bandwidth Memory". HBM is an advanced memory technology designed to provide higher memory bandwidth and lower power consumption for high-performance computing and graphics processing units.
HBM has higher bandwidth and smaller package size compared to traditional GDDR (Graphics Double Data Rate) memory. HBM achieves higher bandwidth by stacking multiple memory chips above the processor chip and then connecting the memory chip to the processor chip via a vertical channel (Through-Silicon Vias (TSV)). This stacked design not only provides higher memory bandwidth, but also significantly reduces power consumption and latency.
HBM memory is commonly used in high-performance computing, such as graphics processors (Gpus), artificial intelligence accelerators, high-performance computing (HPC) and other fields. The emergence of HBM memory has greatly improved the performance and energy efficiency of processors in these areas, making processors better able to cope with complex computing tasks and large-scale data processing needs.

HBM:三足鼎立


According to the research data of TrendForce Consulting, the HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) market in 2022 presents a highly concentrated trend, and the three original manufacturers SK hynix, Samsung and Micron monopolized the market. Specific data show that SK Hynix occupies about 50% of the market share, becoming the market leader; Samsung is close behind, with a market share of about 40%, in second place; Micron, with a market share of about 10 percent, ranks third in the market. The three companies have formed a tripartite competitive landscape in the HBM market, where they compete fiercely in terms of technology research and development, product innovation and market share. As HBM technology continues to evolve and market demand grows, these three companies will continue to play an important role in the HBM market, driving innovation and progress in the industry.
At present, istock has set up more than 20 semiconductor intelligent logistics solutions in the global production base for a number of HBM head manufacturers.
