    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 Chip Component Cost Analysis: Memory Share Rises to 63% ➤ How Memory Shortages and Price Hikes are Reshaping AI Chip Cost Structures ✤ https:// epoch.ai/data-insights/ai-chip-component-cost-shares As AI models' demand for computing power surges, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) has become a key component in AI chip supply

    A recent study by Epoch AI reveals that High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) has become the most expensive component in AI chips, with its share of the total component cost rising from 52% in Q1 2024 to 63% by Q4 2025. This surge in memory costs, driven by intense demand from AI models, is outpacing the cost of logic chips and impacting the capital expenditure plans of major tech companies like Microsoft and Meta. The findings highlight memory supply constraints as a significant bottleneck and cost driver for AI hardware expansion. AI
