Is High-Bandwidth Flash (HBF) a direct competitor to HBM, or something entirely new? In this episode, we break down the technology of High-Bandwidth Flash (HBF) and its role in solving the "memory wall" for AI inference. We explore how HBF fits into the existing memory hierarchy—sitting between HBM and traditional NAND flash—to provide high capacity and increased speed for the next generation of AI data centers. We also discuss the technical side of the SanDisk and Kioxia partnership, including BiCS technology and CBA wafer bonding, and when investors can expect this technology to actually hit the bottom line.
