No, I'm not talking about redesigning Fiji now... I'm saying that if they went a different way when designing Fiji, they could have had 8GB.
An interposer doesn't have to be silicon based... you can have much, much larger interposers that are not limited by reticle limits.
I'm simply stating that you are wrong in thinking that there is a technical limitation to 8GB of HBM. There is not.
That doesn't mean AMD went down the wrong path, they have to consider all the factors; cost, time to market, manufacturability, etc.
Ok I see what you are saying but if the interposer wasn't silicon based, you have other things to look into, latencies of the signals, this is why they went with what they did, I think it was explained in one of their presentations.
