My AMD GPU has HBM.
Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about
Haquer@lemmy.today 2 months agoMost of the lithography that is dedicated to RAM is being done for HBM modules, which are not consumer grade. So more likely it will end up in landfills.

These are giant dedicated HBM chips that are on the motherboard, they won’t be going into any GPUs.

HBM are thinned die stacks which are assembled at the GPU periphery using silicon interposers. My AMD GPU has HBM. In case of HBM overproduction post-bubble we might see resurgence of GPUs with HBM rather than GDDRx.

Or new consumer HBM modules

Chip designs take years, so if there’s a sudden glut of HBM, there’s no good way to put it to use outside of existing designs.
