HBM cost on one accelerator package at 8–12 stacks and the reported ~$300–600 per 12-Hi stack

~$2,400–7,200derived

Value kindderived — Derived values are guide calculations; their result is only as fixed as the stated inputs, scope, and method.
ScopeBefore the compute die, interposer or substrate; the stack count and generation of the named package set the point in the range.
As of2026-01
SourceDerived from the reported HBM3E/HBM4 12-Hi stack prices (Chosun via TweakTown, August 2025; TrendForce, January 2026): 8 stacks × $300 = $2,400; 12 stacks × $600 = $7,200.
Derivation8 × $300 = $2,400 (HBM3E, 8-stack); 12 × $600 = $7,200 (HBM4 at the >$600 expectation, 12-stack).
