HBM3 RAM for AI research GPUs becomes scarce, priced 5 times higher than consumer-grade DRAM

Buzz

Not only is there a growing demand for GPU chips to train deep learning algorithms and artificial intelligence, but also HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) technology chips are experiencing staggering price hikes. Evidence lies in DRAM chip manufacturers raising prices of HBM chips for AI research systems.

BusinessKorea reports that HBM RAM chips manufactured by SK Hynix and Samsung have seen a significant price increase, with HBM3 RAM currently priced at 5 times higher than the fastest consumer-grade DRAM chips available.

Nvidia itself has proposed that SK Hynix increase the production of HBM3 chips to meet market demand. Meanwhile, other entities such as Intel are also exploring ways to utilize HBM3, boasting a maximum memory bandwidth of up to 819 GB/s. There is a possibility that SK Hynix may not meet the demands of its partners in time.

According to BusinessKorea: 'The introduction of ChatGPT has created significant opportunities for South Korean semiconductor memory chip manufacturers. ChatGPT utilizes a learning process based on massive amounts of data through AI algorithms, enabling it to answer human questions in the most natural way. Therefore, data processing speed has become a crucial factor in creating efficient and faster language model processing performance. Currently, all memory chips serving AI-operated data center systems are produced by South Korean companies.'

Even the HBM and HBM2 standards, originally equipped on GPUs for older AI research architectures like Ampere and Volta, are experiencing price increases because these older architectures still deliver impressive machine learning processing performance. In terms of market share, SK Hynix currently holds 60 to 70% of the HBM RAM chip market.
