Some sources have said that in 2017, AMD will equip their hybrid processors with memory type HBM.
The official AMD representatives do not dismiss the idea of using the memory type HBM in hybrid processors, according to the comments of Joe Macri , chief engineer of the company core business units .
According to Macri, in terms of market coverage , HBM will be only in expensive processors that provide no more than 5% of its revenue from sales. Much more effective would be to endow memory type HBM relatively in affordable AMD processors series A10, which could compete with Intel Core i5. The problem is is that these plans need to reduce the cost of making HBM memory - including, and by simplifying the layout of the stack memory. Now silicon bridge serving the substrate for memory chips remains the most expensive part of the package.
If we go back to the plans SK Hynix, the memory type HBM company expects over time to see not only in desktops and laptops, but also in the segment of high-performance servers, and handheld devices.
The emergence of 8 GB memory chips type HBM is the question of the near future. Most hotheads even claim that up to 32 GB of HBM2 memory type can support NVIDIA graphics solutions Pascal.
According to SK Hynix, the eight layers of memory HBM makes sense to enter the server segment and telecommunications equipment. Related Products :
