HBM Memory

I believe there was something about a dual link interposer from Sk Hynix that AMD could employ. It would make sense for their Titan equivalent branding/card.

Allso could just make the actual chip itself slightly bigger to fit more stacks. Instead of having one in each corner they could add another 4 in between each I would suppose for 8GB total. They could also just extend the interposer somehow and add more stacks there. Doubt they will do that but it's possible. I think the most interesting concept is a dual link interposer.

I think right now they are more concerned with getting HBM v1 out on the market to show its success. I bet they already have v2 in the works to extend the memory capacity. They have been working on this for 7 years afterall.

I'd agree and I actually came across an article that stated currently there is no way AMD can add more memory due to the current design even if they made it all bigger. That's what the guy said based off info he was told from AMD. They are working on HBM2.0. It will be on the next gen GPUs and upped to 2GB per stack which equates to 8GB per GPU. Maybe they can find a way to be able to add more than just 4 stacks with HBM2.0 is they want bragging rights, either way 8GB is a much needed step up.

So the 390X will then only have 4GB if I sort of got your post correctly?... since you wrote "it will be on the next gen GPUs and upped to 2GB per stack which equates to 8GB per GPU.".

Ya. It'll be pretty much 4GB unless AMD surprises us with something. Next gen will have 8GB meaning the cards after this launch.
