    Why DDR5, instead of HBM?

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 12:18 AM PST

    Just heard the news that DDR5 RAM modules are just a few years away. They operate at just 1.1V, which is quite an achievement considering the huge bandwidth gains over DDR4 but from what I've seen and heard so far; its latency won't be any better than DDR4 which I think matters a lot.

    Which got me thinking, why not use on chip HBM modules and just get rid of DDR altogether? Maybe get rid of the L3 cache while you're at it.

    I'm by no means an expert but HBM appears to be a solid contender, except for maybe cost. As per Google; 16GB HBM2 with 4 stacks of DRAM dies costs $120 so roughly 2x more than premium DDR4 modules. But the bandwidth/latency difference between the two technologies is just night and day + it can be used as L3 cache so I think the extra cost will be offset quite a bit.

    Not only that, but CPU manufacturers can easily 'differentiate' between their upper and lower tier CPUs by the amount of on-board memory, instead of just locking their clockspeeds which I find rather silly, considering turbo boost + most AMD CPUs are fully unlocked anyway!

    HBM almost sounds like the perfect candidate so... what exactly am I missing?

    Could AMD or NVIDIA do anything to make their GPUs useless for mining without affecting gaming performance?

    Posted: 12 Feb 2021 11:14 AM PST

    Could they not do something hard-ware or firm-ware based to give really bad hashrates. So gamers can finally enjoy their hobby?

    EDIT1: Thanks for the replies all. EDIT2: not asking if it makes financial sense or not, just wondering if it's possible or not.
