Or even be released in any form (I'm assuming here AI doesn't use DDR memory but some oyher related type)
Fingers crossed that we might see HBM as system RAM finally.
Not sure if the AI side is any different, but all the data and compute servers I've built used DDR DIMMs, only they needed to be ECC to even POST.
If it was server hardware they probably needed more than just ECC. They were probably RDIMM or LRDIMM which have built in registers to handle addressing larger amounts of memory.
