What it does

Makes memory and storage products, including high-bandwidth memory for AI accelerators.

Why it matters

It is one of three global suppliers of the high-bandwidth memory that AI accelerators need to move data fast enough to keep GPUs busy.

How it makes money

Sells memory and storage products, including HBM, to computing and AI-hardware customers.

Geography

United States

AI stack position

Chip manufacturing, memory and packaging. The foundries, memory makers, and packaging and testing businesses that physically manufacture AI chips. This is where a chip design actually becomes a real, physical piece of silicon.
