haha nope.. being optimistic we have to wait 1 full week(at least) for a complete review of Fury Cards, that review will be honestly late in [H]OCP.. with the 980TI they only made a fast PREVIEW 2 weeks ago and no more.. yes 2 weeks for a single card..

I don't think it was until a couple of generations later, when we saw a huge performance difference between GDDR3 and GDDR5, as GPU's improved and made the old GDDR3 a bottleneck.
I expect something similar for HBM. No dramatic difference on launch, but a few years from now looking back and wondering how we ever got by without it
Oh shit, you're in the future. You're the one that needs to tell us what happens! I eagerly await your reply.
They were up to 512 bit memory busses with DDR3. GDDR5 allowed them to drop back to 256 bit for the same performance. It saved die size, cost, and power.
HBM is kind of the opposite. It has an extremely wide mem bus and slower RAM. HBM2, if I'm not mistaken, doubles the bus width again.
Well here it is.
Maybe the last "leak" of this rumor cycle.
Hynix HBM press release:

Less than 4 hours to go, and we can finally put this thread to rest.
My prediction:
"Hi guys, here's what the card looks like, but you already knew that.
It's got HBM, which is really fast, but you already knew that.
The 300 series are all rebrands, but you already knew that.
Wait 2 more weeks for benchmarks, then 2 more weeks after that for retail availability. Lisa Su OUT!"
Excuse me this is a 300 series thread, there is another Fury rumor thread.

I'm with the squirrel. No more Fury discussion in here, read the thread title and f%*$ off.
p.s just joking like I assume he was.
Donald Trump keeping me busy for now.45 minutes and counting...
45 minutes and counting...
Do they have a link to the event? maybe it was posted and i missed it

I've had the chat disabled for years.
I started a thread on BAPC should get some heat going there:
