SK hynix begins mass production of the fastest memory HBM3

SK hynix Inc. announced that mass production of HBM3, the world's most powerful DRAM, has begun. The news comes less than a year after SK hynix became the first company in the industry to create HBM3 in October, which is expected to cement its leadership position in the premium DRAM business.
