Breaking AI's memory wall: former TSMC VP charts a path with HBM, optical links and 3D stacking

What happened

A background technical analysis notes that AI processor performance continues to improve, but memory bandwidth is growing more slowly, making data supply a major constraint on AI chip performance and energy efficiency. Efforts to shorten the distance between memory and compute units and increase die-to-die interconnect density are driving advances in HBM, advanced packaging and 3D integration. The article is an industry trend discussion and involves no specific manufacturer, price movement, capacity event or policy action.
