According to reports from Korean media Chosun Ilbo and ZDNET Korea, SK HynixPark Kyung, president of system architecture, said at an academic seminar held yesterday local time in South Korea that storage products are transforming from simple components to solutions in the AI era.
박경 said:
- It is no longer enough to just have DRAM design skills. We need to look at how the system is changing and what opportunities and challenges exist from an “operational and system” perspective, not just from a semiconductor technology perspective.
- The semiconductor ecosystem used to be dominated by supply and demand, butIn the future it needs to transform into a collaborative relationship to solve common goalsHow quickly we respond to this structure is key to how quickly we can bring future products to market.
Regarding SK Hynix’s leading position in HBM memory, a hot product in the AI field, the vice president said:
- I don't know if we're number one because we're good, or if we're good because we're number one. But I always think it's the latter.We need to be more humble about technology than we are now, we need to work harder to explore what we don’t know.
On the technical level, 박경 envisions applying the CXL memory module (SK Hynix abbreviates it as CMM), which is currently mainly used for CPU system memory expansion, to AI XPU In the case of the off-chip cache capacity and bandwidth bottleneck, AI ChipsProvide assistance.
박경 said that SK Hynix's CXL 2.0 CMM samples have achieved stable performance and are currently working with major customers for testing and certification.Mass production is only possible after receiving orders.
In addition, the controller used in SK Hynix's existing CXL 2.0 CMM comes from Lanqi, but SK Hynix is also developing CXL master control internally, with the goal ofNext generation CMM module uses self-developed controller.
