Storage Chips 2025 Overview: HBM Grows 33% Year-on-Year, NAND Prices Increase by 10%, and China’s Path to Breakthrough

Storage Chips 2025 Overview: HBM Grows 33% Year-on-Year, NAND Prices Increase by 10%, and China's Path to Breakthrough

Storage, as a core branch of the semiconductor industry, serves as the “data granary” for electronic devices. However, training AI large models requires processing billions of images and trillions of data points, leading to a dual bottleneck of “insufficient capacity and lagging speed” in traditional storage. In this context, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) has become … Read more
