- Known gaps
- Events are published once corroborated across independent public sources, with human review on an exception basis; every entry carries its evidence links. Vendors do not announce every qualification, so the absence of an event for a vendor–customer pair is not evidence that no qualification exists — and because public reporting concentrates on NVIDIA platforms, NVIDIA-related events are over-represented relative to true qualification activity. Coverage spans Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron from HBM3 through HBM4 16-Hi, with events back to June 2022.Authored 2026-08-15; next review 2026-11-15.
