HBM is meant to be integrated into the same package as the CPU, so no more DIMM sockets. It also has higher latency apparently.
- MarleTangible 13d agoOne of the comments mentioned that they have a bus size of 2048, which may be why the latency is higher. > These chips have a massive bus size of 2048 bits, instead of the 64 or 128 bits (dual channel) used by DDR5.
