This week, as reported by Business Korea, South Korean startup Rebellions’ CTO Oh Jin-wook admitted plans to speed up the market launch of the Rebel Quad compute accelerator, which will combine four Samsung HBM3E memory stacks with 12 tiers each. The accelerator will hit the market before the end of the year and will be almost entirely manufactured by Samsung Electronics.

The Korean company is trying to compete with Nvidia and AMD accelerators; its solutions can also be used in artificial intelligence systems. It is noteworthy that the first generation of Atom accelerators from Rebellions used GDDR6 memory chips with a total capacity of 16 GB, and the new Rebel Quad will be the first-born of the brand with HBM memory. Four HBM3E stacks in a 12-tier design will provide a total memory capacity of 144 GB, and this allows the product of the South Korean startup to be compared with Nvidia accelerators of the Blackwell family.
The Rebel Quad accelerator chip itself will be produced by Samsung using 4nm technology, and it will also handle packaging, so in this regard the contractor will offer comprehensive services to Rebellions. Representatives of the startup emphasized that they are not currently considering the possibility of cooperation with TSMC. It is noteworthy that Rebellions recently acquired the competing South Korean company Sapeon, which uses SK hynix type memory in its accelerators. However, the cooperation scheme with Samsung hardly leaves Rebellions the opportunity to look closely at other memory suppliers.
