Level 1

First JEDEC HBM3 generation with 1024-bit interface. Powers NVIDIA H100 and H200, AMD MI300X, Google TPU v5e, AWS Trainium. SK hynix was sole initial supplier for H100. Mature production with stable supply as demand shifts to HBM3e. Status in the dataset: volume.

Level 2

Interface width is 1,024 bits at 1.1 V. Capacity per stack: 16, 24 GB, up to 12-high stacks. Suppliers: SK hynix (volume), Samsung (volume) and Micron (volume). Main buyers: NVIDIA, AMD, Google and AWS.

Level 3

The dataset prices it at about $16 per GB (-8% year over year), trend declining. AI accounts for about 80% of its demand in the dataset. All figures are dated with the curated memory dataset; see the memory page for sources.
