Extended read

While Micron and SK Hynix have captured the initial rally in memory, the 'picks and shovels' of the memory sector are now seeing accelerated demand. Teradyne's testing equipment is essential for ensuring the reliability of complex HBM stacks used in AI accelerators. Rambus is benefiting from the transition to DDR5 and HBM3 standards, where its interface IP is a prerequisite for high-speed data transfer between memory and GPUs.
