What is the primary memory type used in NVIDIA A100 and H100 GPUs that enables their high memory bandwidth?

A.GDDR6X — used in consumer GPUs like RTX 4090, offering around 1 TB/s bandwidth on a 384-bit bus
B.DDR5 ECC — used in server CPUs and high-reliability workstations, not GPU on-package memory
C.LPDDR5 — used in mobile SoCs and laptops for low-power operation, not datacenter GPU accelerators
D.HBM2e / HBM3 — stacked high-bandwidth memory delivering up to 2 TB/s (A100) and 3.35 TB/s (H100)
