HBM4: Nvidia prepares for the next generation of memory

According to reports, Nvidia is in the advanced testing phase for its next generation of HBM4 memory. In parallel, SK Hynix is increasing the production of 1b DRAM, a fundamental step to support the growing demand for high-bandwidth memory.

The adoption of HBM4 promises to significantly improve the performance of Nvidia GPUs, especially for applications that require high data transfer capacity, such as training large artificial intelligence models and complex scientific simulations. The increase in production by SK Hynix suggests that the technology is about to be commercialized on a large scale.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
