HBM wafer reallocation gates conventional DRAM supply
Hyperscaler capex
pushes HBM demand
New capacity online
catches up
Wafer capacity
die starts
finite reservoir
reallocation gate
HBM advanced path
advanced wafer + packaging
siphons ~3x wafer / unit
Conventional DRAM supply
squeezed tight
DRAM price
rising
Micron rev
raised
Memory shortage
persists
new capacity catches up -> shortage eases
Wafer diverted to HBM
New capacity online
shortage persists
