TL;DR: SK hynix unveiled next-gen HBM4 memory with up to 16-Hi stacks, 48GB capacity, and 2TB/sec bandwidth, targeting NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin AI GPUs in 2026. Mass production begins in late 2025, featuring advanced MR-MUF and TSV tech for high-layer integration, alongside high-speed RDIMM and MRDIMM server modules optimized for AI and data centers.

SK hynix showed off its next-gen HBM4 memory at TSMC's recent North American Technology Symposium, with up to 16-Hi stacks and 2TB/sec memory bandwidth per stack, ready for NVIDIA's next-gen Vera Rubin AI hardware.

We will see SK hynix's world-leading HBM4 memory chips inside of NVIDIA's upcoming GB300 "Blackwell Ultra" AI GPUs, with the company planning to shift fully into the arms of HBM4 memory starting with Vera Rubin later this year. SK hynix also pointed out that they've managed the high number of layers through using Advanced MR-MUF and TSV technologies.

SK hynix also showed off its family of server memory modules, with RDIMM and MRDIMM high-performance server modules now being build based on the latest 1c DRAM standard, which pushes module speeds up to an impressive 12,500MB/sec. SK hynix said: "Notably, SK hynix exhibited a range of modules designed to enhance AI and data center performance while reducing power consumption. These included the MRDIMM lineup with a speed of 12.8 gigabits per second (Gbps) and capacities of 64 GB, 96 GB, and 256 GB; RDIMM modules with a speed of 8 Gbps in 64 GB and 96 GB capacities; and a 256 GB 3DS RDIMM".
