NVIDIA showed lack of prospects for memory HBM, which had just appeared on the market in the form of on-board memory on graphics cards from AMD GPU Fiji, and which will soon be on the cards with the GPU NVIDIA Pascal. As forecast in the company, the second generation memory HBM can cause serious problems with excessive consumption.
I am glad that the problems will begin immediately, but only after four or five years. In the first generation of memory HBM and second-generation stack memory would be more effective type of memory GDDR5, so NVIDIA products on architectures Pascal, and Volta are guaranteed to be free of the problems with the "hot" memory. Complications can arise only if we start to raise the exchange rate of the data bus. In the first generation of the baud rate can be up to 1 Gbit / s on the first, and the second - to 2 Gbit / s on second. Improved memory HBM 2, if necessary, may be even faster.
Because the memory HBM barely begun to emerge on the market, talking about its imminent demise seem premature. Related Products :
