With the current increase in synthetic intelligence, Korean chip large SK hynix Inc. has emerged as one of the influential gamers within the international semiconductor business, particularly within the excessive bandwidth reminiscence (HBM) chip sector.

Since creating the primary HBM chips in 2013, recognized for his or her vertical interconnection of a number of DRAM chips, SK hynix has far outpaced its rivals, together with Samsung Electronics Co., in producing fifth-generation HBM3E merchandise.

SK hynix’s confidence as a market chief within the HBM sector is on full show at CES 2025, one of many world’s largest tech reveals that may kick off Tuesday in Las Vegas.

At its joint exhibition sales space with different SK Group associates, together with SK Telecom Co., beneath the theme „Revolutionary AI, Sustainable Tomorrow,“ SK hynix highlights its lineup of world-class AI reminiscence chips, equivalent to HBM and enterprise solid-state drives (eSSDs).

Notable merchandise embrace the D5-P5335, a 122-terabyte chip developed by its U.S. subsidiary Solidigm in November 2024, which is the world’s highest-capacity eSSD, together with LPCAMM2 and ZUFS 4.0 on-device AI reminiscence chips.

SK hynix additionally showcases cutting-edge applied sciences like its Compute Specific Hyperlink (CXL), a next-generation interface, and processing-in-memory (PIM), a sophisticated AI accelerator.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a pattern of its 16-layer HBM3E chip, essentially the most superior HBM know-how to this point, formally launched in November 2024.

This marks the primary time the fingernail-sized chip has been exhibited to the general public exterior Korea.

This complete lineup underscores SK hynix’s ambition to place itself as a „full-stack AI reminiscence supplier,“ providing a broad array of AI-centric reminiscence merchandise and applied sciences.

On the similar time, SK hynix’s reminiscence chips are important for AI knowledge facilities, which require superior computational energy, high-speed storage and low-latency networking to coach and function AI fashions effectively.

„Our capabilities in AI knowledge facilities are a stable basis for additional improvement of SK hynix and the Korean reminiscence business as a complete,“ Park Myoung-soo, vp of SK hynix for U.S. and European gross sales, advised reporters throughout a press occasion on the Las Vegas Conference Middle on Monday.

„We’re assured that SK hynix will proceed to contribute to the Korean semiconductor enterprise and international AI improvement within the coming years.“ (Yonhap)
