Samsung develops AI processor-embedded high bandwidth memory chip

Samsung Electronics said on Wednesday it has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) processor-embedded high bandwidth memory (HBM) chip that boasts low energy consumption and enhanced performance.

Using processing-in-memory (PIM) technology, the South Korean tech giant said it integrated AI engines onto its ‘HBM2 Aquabolt’, becoming the first in the industry to develop a HBM-PIM semiconductor.

PIM combines logic-based complex processing units within the memory.
