HBM 4,好在哪里?
半导体行业观察· 2025-04-25 01:35
如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容 编译自 cadence ,谢谢。 JEDEC 近期发布的 HBM4 规范对 AI 训练硬件开发者来说是个好消息。HBM4 是快速发展的高带 宽内存 (HBM) DRAM 标准的最新规范,据 JEDEC 称,HBM4 可提供 2TB/s 的内存性能和高达 64GB(32Gb 16 位高)的更高密度。JEDEC 的新闻稿指出:"HBM4 带来的进步对于需要高效处 理大型数据集和复杂计算的应用至关重要,包括生成式人工智能 (AI)、高性能计算、高端显卡和 服务器。" 大型语言模型 (LLM) 数据集呈指数级增长,而当前的 CPU 和 GPU 性能通常受到可用内存带宽的 限制。由于存在这种"内存壁垒",HBM 凭借其卓越的带宽、容量和内存效率,已成为生成式 AI 训练的首选内存。 HBM4 基于 HBM3(和 HBM2E)标准构建,后者广泛应用于数据中心的 AI 训练硬件。HBM4 的内存带宽比 HBM3 提升了 2 倍。带宽的提升是通过将频率提升至 8Gb/s(HBM3 为 6.4Gb/s) 并将数据位数翻倍至 2048 位(HBM3 为 1024 位)来实现的 ...
