A lot of the AI progress is stalled because these chips do not handle thermal contraction/expansion well at all, and end up permanently destroying these chips. HBM has been a failure at this scale with chips getting destroyed every 4 months or so during operations.
I'd like to see some actual science saying, here was the problem, here's how we solved it, here's the AFR data, here's this running after X cycles etc. Nobody has done this reliably yet. That entire industry is hiding the bodies.
zHBM can deliver up to eight times the data-processing performance of eighth-generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM5) while improving performance per watt by a factor of three.
Thermal resistance is reduced by more than half, enhancing both system stability and energy efficiency."
I know consumers hate the situation with ram and storage prices right now, as do I. But at least on the bright side all this AI investment has unlocked a lot of progress in a space that didn't see huge advancements in a good while. All these 10-20% improvements gen-on-gen have resulted in upgrade cycles of well over 5 years for many use cases in order to really feel like it's worth it. RAM capacities especially have felt near stagnant for a decade.
