GPUs could explode to multiple TB with new storage-inspired memory tech
It’s assembled by stacking multiple layers (16 in the case of Sandisk’s first-gen modules) of memory together, which boosts capacity and bandwidth. But where HBM uses DRAM, HBF aims to use NAND flash. Future HBF generations are expected to push bandwidth to over 2 TB/s and eventually 3.2 TB/s.While bandwidth makes HBF interesting as an alternative to HBM, its real party trick is capacity.
