Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
High Bandwidth Flash is a memory architecture concept that applies HBM-style stacked-die packaging and a wide parallel interface to NAND flash rather than DRAM, aiming to combine flash's higher storage density and non-volatility with substantially higher bandwidth than conventional flash interfaces. It targets workloads such as large AI model storage that need to keep large amounts of data close to compute without the cost and volatility of stacking equivalent capacity in DRAM.
