SK Hynix bets on high-bandwidth flash to tackle AI memory bottlenecks

What happened

SK Hynix is turning to high-bandwidth flash (HBF) to address growing memory bottlenecks in AI inference; the stated cause is that increasingly complex AI agents generate more data than can be economically stored in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM alone. This is a stated strategic direction, a planned move; the source provides no specific product, timetable, or figures.
