It could be a backronym, where the meaning of something is changed after the name is selected to fit the name. I mean, the company is Chinese. I doubt that they initially chose an English-based name, but they sure could have adopted it later.

And yes, at least according to Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_Company
"BYD" is the pinyin initials of the company's Chinese name Biyadi. The company was originally known as Yadi Electronics (亚迪电子), named after the Yadi Road in Dapeng New District, where the company was once based.[23] According to Wang Chuanfu, when the company was registered, the character "Bi" (比) was added to the name to prevent duplication, and to provide the company with an alphabetical advantage in trade shows.[24] As the name "BYD" had no particular meaning, BYD started adopting a backronymic slogan "Build Your Dreams" when it participated at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in the US.[25][26][27]
EDIT: Ah, @ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml already pointed this out.


Why? I mean, they aren't compelled to manufacture DIMMs.
Right now, there is a window in time where there are companies willing to pay tons of money for HBM, more than most people and companies are for DIMMs. It'd be crazy for memory manufacturers not to make HBM if they have the capacity to do so, if they're doing way better by doing so.
