Samsung teases new HBM5 with twice the performance of HBM4E —ambitious data transfer rates could hint at 4,096-bit interface
Samsung's memory chief says HBM5 development targets doubling bandwidth over HBM4E and 20% higher power efficiency. The announcement at Semicon Taiwan suggests JEDEC may widen the interface from 2,048 to 4,096 bits or increase pin speed, though specifics remain speculative.

AI CuratedThe current state of Hybrid Bonding in 2026 — TSMC sits at 6 microns and the HBM delay that nobody expected
Tom's Hardware examines the state of hybrid bonding in 2026: TSMC's SoIC pitch roadmap from 9 to 6 microns with 4.5-micron by 2029, Intel's Foveros Direct in volume on Clearwater Forest, and AMD's use in 3D V-Cache and MI300. A JEDEC decision raising HBM stack height lets HBM4 stay on microbumps, deferring hybrid bonding in memory to HBM4E and HBM5, while memory makers build advanced packaging capacity ahead of deployment.
