What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

SK Hynix announced its progress in 3D stacked DRAM technology during a keynote speech at SEDEX 2026 in Seoul. The company is expanding its AI memory strategy beyond high-bandwidth memory to address data bottlenecks created by complex AI inference workloads. This new technology places memory directly above processors, such as neural processing units, to shorten data travel distance.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The company projects that AI infrastructure performance requirements could grow roughly 19-fold by 2030 compared with 2026. This shift requires optimizing the entire memory hierarchy, moving beyond just improving individual chips. The advancement of 3D stacked DRAM and high-bandwidth flash addresses the challenge of moving data across different memory layers.
