SK hynix unveils 'iHBM' thermal architecture that cools AI memory at the source — integrated cooling elements inside HBM interface cut thermal resistance by 30%, target next-gen HBM5 accelerators and dense AI data centers
SK hynix has introduced a new thermal architecture called 'iHBM' aimed at improving AI memory performance. This technology integrates cooling elements directly into the HBM interface, reducing thermal resistance by over 30%. The company plans to implement iHBM in future products like HBM5 to enhance thermal management in high-performance computing environments.
- ▪The 'iHBM' technology enhances heat dissipation by integrating cooling elements into the HBM package.
- ▪SK hynix claims a reduction of over 30% in thermal resistance, improving stability in high-temperature environments.
- ▪The architecture targets next-generation memory layers to support higher data transfer speeds under heavy computational loads.
