Rising demand for high-performance chips challenges the adoption of AI technology

The Artificial Intelligence Podcast - A podcast by Dr. Tony Hoang

Categories:

The adoption of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is increasing, but there is a shortage of the high-performance chips, specifically high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, needed to support its growth. SK Hynix, a major HBM supplier, announced that its HBM products are fully booked through 2025 due to high demand, leading to increased prices. However, other manufacturers like Samsung and Micron are increasing production to meet the demand. TSMC, the exclusive supplier of HBM technology, is also increasing capacity to alleviate shortages. Chip manufacturers like Intel and AMD are introducing new processors for AI functions, and LLM creators are developing smaller models tailored for specific tasks. Efforts are being made to meet the growing demand for AI chips and enable widespread adoption of genAI. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
