If it can reduce costs it'll be a winner. Until then for consumer GPUs at least gddr6 makes more sense.

TBH, this is mostly for FPGA and datacenter/AI-focused GPUs and discrete AI products. Consumer GPUs don't need the capacity (outside of very niche use cases).

Very impressive compared to what HBM started out as.

correct me if i'm wrong, but is this an effective bus width increase too? Seeing as you can address more memory addresses off of fewer pins...

I would assume since they are now using a 3D layout instead of wire tracing, that each TSV would allow more effective data transmission which would result in an overall higher bandwidth. That's also because they have more physical capacity to. So more memory and more efficient data transmission would result in higher overall bandwidth. In a similar form factor
