Micron doubles HBM capacity to challenge SK hynix, Samsung

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Micron is significantly increasing its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) production capacity, aiming for 100,000 wafers per month by 2026. This expansion, occurring in Taiwan and Singapore, is a direct challenge to South Korean competitors like SK hynix and Samsung. The move is strategically timed to supply NVIDIA's upcoming 'Rubin' architecture with 12-layer HBM4, positioning Micron to capture a larger share of the lucrative AI hardware market. AI

IMPACT This expansion aims to meet the growing demand for AI accelerators, potentially lowering costs and increasing availability of HBM for AI training and inference.
