SK Hynix's chairman told Bloomberg that the HBM shortage — the primary bottleneck constraining AI compute scaling — will not resolve until 2030, a structural rather than cyclical supply constraint from the world's dominant HBM producer. HBM availability is the single largest factor gating GPU allocation at hyperscalers and limiting the pace of both cloud and on-premises AI infrastructure build-out.
