① SA Source

Context Before

HBM4 is where there will be more drastic changes to the HBM architecture on many facets: bus width, form factor and customization vs. “standard” off-the-shelf HBM.

HBM is high bandwidth because it has a much wider memory bus of 1024 bits compared to other forms of DRAM with 64 bits (16x the I/O). The bus of a single stack consists of multiple channels on each of the HBM core die. Currently, the bus for HBM3 and HBM3E is divided into sixteen 64-bit channels, with two nearly independent pseudo-channels per channel.

Evidence

JEDEC has said there is an initial agreement on speeds up to 6.4Gbps implying up to 1.6TB/s which is around 1.5x the bandwidth of HBM3E at peak speeds of 9.2Gbps.

② Atomic Claim

JEDEC 初步 HBM4 規格為最高 6.4Gbps、約 1.6TB/s,約為 HBM3E peak bandwidth 的 1.5 倍。
