You can improve the effectiveness and professionalism of your communication by spelling out initialisms the first time you use them, like this: high-bandwidth memory (HBM).

After you have spelled it out, feel free to use the initialism as much as you like for brevity.





You can look up acronyms that are contextually indicated; in this case by the word "DDR5".

HN only supports a limited number of characters in headlines.

Searching for `hbm ddr5`, for example, appears to find the definition of the acronym. Adding the word `Wikipedia` finds an article about same.

IIUC Silicon Carbide (SiC) wafers are an alternative to doped Silicon Dioxide (SiO_2) wafers, but EV chargers are built out of 6x6 SiC wafers and they're very expensive.

To move semiconductor fabrication off of scarce highly-processed commodity inputs would help to eliminate current production bottlenecks.


This was above the article text: "High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Roadmap" under the heading Toms Hardware Premium Roadmaps. It's also spelled out in the 2nd paragraph of the article.
