  HBM Memory
High Bandwidth Memory Memory? Isn't that like saying ATM Machine? Or DNS System?


But is not perfectly reasonable use of language, if you consider that the language as written there is for humans to read and understand, not for machines to expand acronyms and be confused about semantical errors?

But sure, what you describe has a name, RAS syndrome.

So just spell out the whole thing. Just say High Bandwidth Memory. Leave out the inscrutable TLA.
