Samsung Electronics Announces Flashbolt HBM2E High Bandwidth Memory
Samsung announced its new High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2E) product at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) to deliver the highest DRAM performance levels for use in next-generation supercomputers, graphics systems, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The new solution, Flashbolt , is the industry's first HBM2E to deliver a 3.2 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) data transfer speed per pin, which is 33 percent faster than the previous-generation HBM2. Flashbolt has a density of 16Gb per die, double the capacity of the previous generation. With these improvements, a single Samsung HBM2E package will offer a 410 gigabytes-per-second (GBps) data bandwidth and 16 GB of memory.
"Flashbolt's industry-leading performance will enable enhanced solutions for next-generation data centers, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and graphics applications," said Jinman Han, senior vice president of Memory Product Planning and Application Engineering Team at Samsung Electronics. "We will continue to expand our premium DRAM offering, and improve our 'high-performance, high capacity, and low power' memory segment to meet market demand."

Looks fantastic on paper, but completely useless if the price isn't right.
Maintaining current HBM prices, they're only good for enterprise market.
I'm hopeful, even being more expensive over GDDR5/6 (per chip), you just need 1 HBM chip per GPU.
A man can only dream.

It'll quite likely end up on Pro GPUs for sure (Quadros or Teslas).

High-end GPUs have more bandwidth then that one chip can offer, so you would need more then that, which drives prices up.
HBM will remain at a price premium, and I don't see NVIDIA picking it up for consumers, since the price/performance ratio isn't really that great.
