For better or worse at least this time there is a physical chip being shown, so it exists, unlike those countless upcoming lakes and what know that they talk about every single day.
Like Land o lakes where they removed the native american lady?

Is it going to be like that? I wonder.

hmmmm -_*

For a moment there I saw Raja's photo holding up the chip as a Hail Hydra moment. Then instantly thought "Nooooo". Then I thought "Intel".

It's kind of depressing.

When HBM first came to the market nad R9Nano hit the shelves, I've said: finally! No more VGAs long as the computer itself weighting 5-6kg and covering 3 slots.

Unfortunately it's getting only worse as time goes on. Latest 20xx series was just ludicrous with size. Now this (I know it's just in-house ES) ginormous graphic processor.

I know HBM is expensive, but give users a choice. It would be so nice to have card of the current Titax RTX or 2080TiRTX in a envelope of R9Nano for consumers. I would pay just for that.

AMD will likely switch to HBM2 or HBM3 in the future if the supply grows, HBM is in high demand for HPC as well as enterprise users. It's really a matter of when not if, they already make HBM GPUs for Apple, not sure if it's the exact same die we see in 5700(xt) but having a single memory controller will help reduce costs & the die size. I predict at least a couple of years before they'll try something like this.
