SanDisk and SK Hynix have agreed on a standardized specification for High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) memory, aiming to offer a high-capacity alternative to HBM for AI workloads. The new standard, which is expected to be finalized by the end of 2025, promises significant performance improvements over current SSD technology.
SanDisk and SK Hynix have jointly announced a standardized specification for High Bandwidth Flash (HBF) memory, designed to meet the growing demand for high-capacity memory in AI applications. HBF combines the bandwidth advantages of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) with the cost efficiency of NAND flash storage. The specification, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, defines the interface and integration methods to facilitate broad industry adoption. Sandisk and SK Hynix claim that HBF will deliver over twice the bandwidth and four times the capacity of a standard SSD. The first HBF products are anticipated to emerge in 2026, targeting AI and high-performance computing environments.
- Abbreviations
- HBF = High Bandwidth Flash — флэш-память с высокой пропускной способностью
- HBM = High Bandwidth Memory — память с высокой пропускной способностью
- SSD = Solid State Drive — твердотельный накопитель
