NVIDIA is reportedly in the process of procuring HBM3E samples from SK HYNIX in order to determine its effects on GPU performance. A paywalled report from Digitimes (via Tom's Hardware) indicates the GPU manufacturer has reached out to the semiconductor company that supplies various types of memory technology, and who currently happens to be the only manufacturer of HBM3E. NVIDIA is likely not the only company that is looking into the impact of the new technology as it could potentially affect AI and high-performance computing (HPC) graphics processing units greatly.

The new memory is expected to see per-stack bandwidth transfer speeds increase from 819.2 GB/s to 1 TB/s and will be built using the company's 1b nanometer process. It currently uses the same process for DDR5-6400 and plans to apply it to mobile LPDDR5T chips.
