IIRC HBM is actually more power efficient but the problem is power density since HBM is stacked. Could also be trace length.
>Therefore, HBM provides at least an order of magnitude higher bandwidth than DDRx DRAM [15] at a lower power consumption (nearly 7pJ/bit as opposed to 25pJ/bit for a DDRx DRAM) with a smaller form factor [65].

- Isthatablackgsd 5y agoI figured they are making improvement in HBM but wasn't expecting an massive improvement with power saving. That is great to know. I forgot that HBM is stacked. I wonder if it a form factor issue? HBM is clearly "thick boy" than conventional DRAM. I imagine they need to make some room for the HBM modules including double-sided stick.
- shadilay 5y agoHBM stack is no thicker than any other silicon. You can see this with HBM GPU's.
