Father of HBM: Optimistic about high-bandwidth memory technology; future AI industry may shift from GPU to memory dominance

Known as the “Father of HBM,” Professor Kim Jung-Ho from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology stated that the AI chip landscape is about to undergo a fundamental change. The current system, dominated by NVIDIA and centered around GPUs, will eventually shift to a memory-driven architecture. Although the current computing architecture still revolves around GPUs and CPUs, future systems will be built around ultra-large capacity memory (such as HBM and HBF), with processors acting more like embedded components.
