    Memory has grown to nearly two-thirds of AI chip component costs

    A recent analysis indicates that memory components, particularly High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), now constitute nearly two-thirds of the total cost for AI chips. This share has significantly increased from 52% to 63% between Q1 2024 and Q4 2025. Concurrently, the cost share for advanced packaging has decreased, while logic die costs remain relatively stable. The overall expenditure on AI chip components is projected to more than double from approximately $22 billion in 2024 to $52 billion in 2025, with HBM alone driving a substantial portion of this growth. AI

    IMPACT Memory costs are becoming the dominant factor in AI chip production, potentially influencing future hardware development and supply chain strategies.
