What happened
Samsung and Intel are developing next-generation HBM packaging architectures, with Samsung's zHBM stacking memory on the GPU and Intel's Z-Angle Memory using diagonal interconnects, both aimed at overcoming thermal and stacking limits to increase bandwidth. This represents an R&D competition in advanced packaging to support future AI/GPU demands. Neutral: These are long-term R&D milestones with no immediate impact on current HBM supply, pricing, or trader decisions.
