- According to the news, Huawei has formed a consortium to develop HBM2
According to some reports, Huawei is integrating the domestic supply chain to plan to develop domestic HBM2 memory, and the alliance currently has a total of 2 production lines, and plans to develop and mass-produce HBM2 memory in 2026.
According to another report, the HBM industry chain is mainly composed of five major links: IP, upstream materials, die design and manufacturing, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing.
As major international manufacturers adopt the IDM model and single-handedly handle the design, manufacturing, packaging and testing of chips, the HBM industry chain is still relatively marginal, and domestic manufacturers are mainly in the upstream equipment and material supply links.

- Apple has stopped upgrading Mac starter memory
Today, some media released an analysis paper saying that after Tim Cook took the helm of Apple, the memory upgrade cycle of Apple's basic Mac has stopped.
He made and shared a chart that shows that during the Jobs era, Apple's starting memory on Macs was regularly upgraded, and Apple upgraded the starting memory on Mac devices every 2 years.
After Cook took over Apple, the memory capacity of the Mac has basically stagnated, and the memory has only been upgraded once. One of the big reasons for this is that technological advancements and market trends limit Apple's need to upgrade its RAM every two years. (Source: IT House)
