SK hynix is making another massive wager on artificial intelligence. The company has begun to make large deliveries of HBM4 chips in order to maintain its leadership in the field of AI memory. Merely increasing GPU chip production would not help if HBM memory is not available in enough numbers. SK hynix provides HBM to Nvidia and other manufacturers of AI accelerators, meaning its manufacturing intentions become a key measure of the speed of expansion of AI infrastructure. According to SK hynix, this investment serves as groundwork for a transition that is expected to take time instead of just being a short-lived AI trend.
