not a video card trolling thread. memory question: can somebody please explain the point of HBM? i thought it's advantage was higher bandwidth?

Are you kidding?

bro just wait
Ian Martinez
sorry, i should've said 1080 ti
both do use GDDR5X
en.wikipedia.org
but that's besides the point. where is the bandwidth promised by hbm?
Josiah Nelson
Not sure about bandwidth, but HBM doesn't take up as much room. It's tiny compared to GDDR
Ayden Morales
It's advantage is size.
Luke Bailey
Up rajas ass.
I'm saddened by the fact the 16gb version doesn't have anything extra either
Levi Allen
HBM2 has absurdly lower latency that allows it to be used as an L4 cache
Parker Butler
It's a marketing gimmick. We're not bandwidth starved.

Because Vega is a pro/enterprise GPU first and a gayming GPU second. Plus AMD doesn't have the money and resources to do a separate consumer platform and Polaris doesn't really scale past the 580 tier GPUs so we get cut down Vega stuff with HBM.
Mason Bell
implying that HBM is better for "enterprise" than GDDR5X
kek
Nathaniel Nelson
the HBM memory controller is smaller, probably also consumes less power along with memory chips themselves
Nicholas Bailey
i have no doubt that there are advantages to HBM over DDR, otherwise the industry would not have made such a huge investment in it. but BANDWIDTH was supposed to be THE advantage, and it ain't there. so WTF happened to Vega's HBM b/w?
Colton Jones
Ones in bits and ones in bytes you gigantic retard.
Andrew Davis
that retarded gpu runs so hot, they probably couldn't afford the watts to clock the hbm any higher
Jace Gomez
try again shit-for-brains ;)

Give back the core memory Ubuntu
Lincoln Evans
It's the reason Vega has less frame drops, we only saw amd's charts but it's not difficult to deduce this if you read about hbm memory.

2 stacks of 4gb
Instead if the furyX 4 stacks if 1gb
Carson Jenkins
You are an absolute retard, g is full of fucking morons who cant read.
Andrew Hill
HBM as the advantage of:
>lower power
>smaller (see Fury nano and Vega nano)
>lower latency
>Higher bandwidth (theoretically)
My only guess to the low bandwidth is only using 2 stacks instead of four like on the Fury
Adrian Stewart
Say this on my face, you fucking donkey!
Jeremiah Wood
manufacturing/supply problems with hbm. that's why its bandwidth is shit and vega was delayed from spring 2017 to mid-august 2017
get your shit together AMD!
Samuel Rodriguez
>Supply
>Bandwidth
Pick one
Jordan Stewart
Even Nvidia uses HBM.

to raise cost and power usage for no reason

>power usage because of hbm2
haha no, kill yourself
