World-first "HBM" DRAM smartphone

 Huawei expected to launch world-first "HBM" DRAM smartphone            

Huawei rumoured to beat Apple in bringing HBM DRAM to Smartphones. Technology will be based on a 3D stacking approach. Forget LPDDR5X, smartphones will start upgrading to the same HBM DRAM found in Nvidia's highest-end GPUs soon - according to the latest leaks. Mobile device OEMs are thought to switch to that advanced form of memory in order to keep up in the AI race. The trailblazer in its adoption may not be the company many might expect, though. High-bandwidth memory (HBM) is mostly reserved for the most AI-forward hardware from AMD or Nvidia. However, it is coming to devices which can fit into the palm of the user's hand soon, according to the latest reports available. 

Huawei could adopt HBM DRAM to smartphones earlier than Apple. The US trade sanctions might have pushed Huawei into a corner, but the former Chinese giant decided that it would not just rise to these challenging circumstances, but it would one-up the competition by adopting various technologies quicker than other giants. For instance, Mate XT was the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, and now rumours claim that the company will proceed to adopt HBM DRAM to smartphones earlier than Apple, resulting in a multitude of advantages. Currently, the world's highest-end smartphones have RAM based on low-power DDR5X (or LPDDR5X) for its speed and efficiency. Even its potential for ~68 gigabyte per second (GB/s) performance might not be enough soon, which might drive manufacturers to make a significant upgrade.

Apple was previously rumoured to introduce HBM DRAM to iPhones for its 20th-anniversary launch in 2027, but Huawei could have bragging rights by introducing the first device to feature such technology. Currently, Huawei’s Achilles’ Heel is being unable to leverage advanced manufacturing processes from the likes of TSMC and Samsung, which is why it is limited to the 7nm node from its local foundry partner SMIC. However, reports available reveal that in other advancements, the company has an edge, particularly Apple, who is severely lagging behind in the generative AI space. One particular component that will effortlessly boost artificial intelligence performance is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) DRAM. The alleged next step forward in mobile device RAM technology may be necessary to keep up with the demands of ever more powerful artificial intelligence (AI) in the near future.

Currently, the most cutting-edge memory used in smartphones and tablets is LPDDR5X technology, with a rumour claiming that LPDDR6 RAM production will kick off in the second half of 2026 by Samsung, with Qualcomm’s said to adopt this technology for its future chipsets. Huawei will take things one step further, with its HBM DRAM based on 3D stacking technology, which will boost bandwidth and efficiency while reducing the memory chip’s size. These attributes make this DRAM the apparent choice for smartphones. Then again, smartphone HBM (or 'mobile HBM') will not be true up-to-~2TB/s bandwidth memory at all, but more like the new kind of low-latency wide I/O DRAM (or LLW DRAM) also recently developed to support AI functionality. It is touted to achieve next-gen processing speeds of up to 128GB/s in its current form nonetheless. In terms of first-mover 'HBM smartphone' makers, Apple and its iPhones might be a prime candidate. The Cupertino giant is thought to be beaten to the punch by another, however.

The company might be Huawei,  although, as a maker of HBM and LLW RAM itself, Samsung is also well-positioned to become a pioneer in making this supposed upgrade. However, Apple will reportedly adopt HBM DRAM in iPhones in 2027, when it unveils the 20th-anniversary version. Huawei could introduce a similar device before its competitor, gaining a significant edge against the Cupertino giant and obtaining a competitive ground in the generative AI category. Unfortunately, the rumour does not specify which specific smartphone series from Huawei will be the first to be treated to this technology, so we must wait and see the result in the near future.

Blended Wing Body Aircraft

 First Blended Wing Body Aircraft with some Interior Shots      

Have you ever wondered what the interior of a passenger-ready, blended wing body (BWB) aircraft would look like? And if you’ve ever wondered what the future of flying looks like, Natilus, a US based aerospace innovator, has just revealed the cabin interior of its revolutionary HORIZON blended wing body (BWB) aircraft, and Boeing should be watching closely. With up to 40% more cabin space than a traditional narrow body like the 737 MAX 8. Natilus released details and images showing the layout, seats and comfort features of what promises to be a revolutionary design in the aviation industry. This design flips the air travel experience on its wingless head. But first, a thing or two about what a blended wing body aircraft is all about. This would be a plane which shows no clear distinction between its main fuselage and wings, although it has them both. It's a choice that, in theory, should deliver several advantages over traditional aircraft frames.

Unlike conventional planes, the HORIZON doesn’t have a traditional fuselage. Instead, the entire body is the wing, a design that not only generates more lift and reduces drag, but also unlocks massive interior real estate. While other BWB attempts (like NASA’s BWB-17 or Airbus’s MAVERIC concept) never made it past prototype stages, Natilus is pushing toward commercial reality. And now, we finally know what the inside looks like. Generally, such a plane would be capable of generating more lift and would face less drag as it moves through the air. When it comes to interior space, because it's not a small tube with wings to its sides, it should deliver a lot more interior space for people to enjoy. It's unclear exactly why blended wing body machines are not flying in the skies of our world yet. There have been several attempts at making them real: back in the 1920s, the Westland Dreadnought came about, followed in the 1990s by the BWB-17 of McDonnell Douglas and NASA. At some point, even Airbus and Bombardier gave the idea a try, but nothing really came of it.

As of today, there are at least two companies gunning to make blended wing body aircraft a reality of our time. JetZero is one of them, whose Z4 is expected to fly for the first time, as a demonstrator, afterwards. But Natilus is working on a potentially game-changing flyer called the Horizon. This plane has been the focus before, but it's again in headlines after the company gave a glimpse at the thing's interior. For business travelers, Natilus introduces something unprecedented: video conferencing pods built directly into the cabin. These Wi-Fi-enabled pods support calls and virtual meetings mid-flight, creating a genuine work-from-sky experience. Combined with intelligent lighting and a spacious layout, the HORIZON is practically a flying coworking space. Depending on the airline’s configuration, HORIZON supports up to 250 passengers, or fewer with ultra-premium layouts:-

196-seat configuration:- 40 First Class seats (38” pitch)  

48 Economy+ (34” pitch)

108 Economy (31” pitch)

164-seat premium layout:- 16 Lie-flat First Class

16 Business Class

60 Economy+

72 Economy

It's worth mentioning that the interior of the Horizon will be customizable, meaning it could be adapted to serve whatever plans airlines have for it. There are a couple of standard layouts, though, and it is them that have been detailed. At its maximum capacity, the Horizon will be capable of carrying 250 passengers, but for now we're only given a glimpse into two other configurations. The first would be one for 196 passengers, 40 of them seated in First Class seats at 38-inch (96 cm) pitch, 48 in Economy+ seats at 34-inch (86 cm) pitch, and 108 in Economy seats at 31-inch (79 cm) pitch. Natilus says the seats are 20-inch (50 cm) wide, and they offer a huge 7.5 feet (228 cm) of headroom. In lie-down position, they extend to 78 inches (198 cm). This layout is also equipped with eight exit doors (it's unclear how they solve the issue of evacuating passengers in case of an emergency in such a design) and up to four restrooms. Each Horizon aircraft can be configured to include three video conference pods, each of them fully equipped with hardware and connections which allow for both video and audio calls to be made. If need be, a so-called club seating will be introduced, allowing families, colleagues and friends to stay close to one another during long flights.

Families no longer need to elbow their way over who sits where. The Deluxe Club Seating setup allows four passengers, parents and kids, or a group of friends, to sit in two-by-two clusters facing each other. This would allow shared experiences, board games, conversations and fewer complaints from restless toddlers. Even if they are generally bad in today's airplanes, the Economy seats in this plane will each be equipped with 15-inch back-of-seat infotainment systems to get passengers' minds off things. There will be an intelligent lighting system on board which can be customized to mimic natural or ambient light and can even be synced with the infotainment system. The intelligent lighting system includes simulated skylights and ambient illumination which adjusts by zone. It can also sync with the in-seat infotainment, creating immersive environments for sleep, entertainment or relaxation. Jet lag doesn’t stand a chance. Every seat, even in Economy, features 15-inch infotainment screens, 20-inch seat widths, and 7.5-foot cabin ceilings. It has eight exit doors, and even potential for dual boarding.

The plane will be powered by a pair of yet undisclosed engines, mounted on top of the fuselage. This position will make them low-noise, and they'l be able to push the Horizon forward for distances of up to 4,000 miles (6,500 km) while carrying a payload of up to 25 tons, while burning 25% less fuel than comparable tube-and-wing aircraft. It’s powered by twin top-mounted engines, a design that reduces cabin noise and enhances fuel efficiency. Natilus claims the aircraft could halve airline operating costs. Supposedly, the engines will eat up 25 % less fuel than comparable tube-and-wing aircraft. That translates into 50 % less money needed to operate the plane, according to the company. The Horizon is being designed in such a way that it will be capable of using existing airport infrastructure. It is intended to compete with the Boeing 737 Max and Airbus A320, Natilus calls it the Boeing killer.

The plan is to have the Horizon in the air as soon as early next decade. Natilus has even begun looking for a site where to build the assembly facility, prime candidates are the US, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Initial details say the place will cover 2.5 million square feet (232,257 square meters) and it will employ some 3,000 people. In a nutshell, Natilus HORIZON, a flying office, living room and lounge with 40% more space than a 737 MAX. So targeted as a direct competitor to the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A321neo, the HORIZON leverages its aerodynamic advantage to reimagine narrow body flight completely. With the ability to use existing airport infrastructure and plans for mass production by the early 2030s, The company is backed by aerospace veterans from Skunk Works, SpaceX, Northrop Grumman and General Atomics. Natilus isn’t building a concept, it’s building a nightmare for existing companies around the world.
