HBM Value Per Nvidia AI Server Expected to Quintuple
firstadopter · x · 2026-07-08
Bank of America predicts that the dollar value of HBM memory per rack will jump from about $150,000–$300,000 in the Blackwell era to roughly $400,000 for the next-generation Vera Rubin. This means HBM memory will account for a significantly larger share of costs in a single Nvidia AI server, making memory an increasingly expensive component of the AI compute supply chain.
