NVIDIA has unveiled its next-generation custom high-bandwidth memory (NVHBM) featuring a redesigned Base Die that shifts memory control functions from the GPU to the Base Die, boosting memory bandwidth by 30% and reducing power consumption by 15%. This redesign marks a shift in the Base Die from a simple transmitter of data to a logic chip with advanced control functions, leveraging advanced logic manufacturing processes like TSMC's and Samsung's 4-nanometer technology to optimise HBM for AI accelerators.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
NVIDIA's redesign of the Base Die shifts memory control off the GPU, offering a new optimisation path for AI hardware. You need to rethink memory design to build more efficient, higher bandwidth AI chips this year.
