That looks very promising.
Increased x86 investments, I wonder why they would want to invest in x86-architecture instead of x64 ๐

Looking at those pictures then i'd have one slight worry about this stacked vram.
Getting off future HSF's might be a total nightmare, if the Vram is actually quite a bit higher than the GPU then i can see many a broken GFX card. You might in fact just twist it off with the heatsink ๐

Waiting for BF5 + DX12 + R395X. That should be a nice step forward.

Looks good, but no PhysX! :j/k:

What percentage of the cards power usage comes from memory vs. the GPU in, say, the 290? Will this shave a few watts or more than that?
I wonder how many layers they will have stacked, too. And are the memory and GPU cores fabricated at the process size. I'm assuming the RAM is fabricated elsewhere then fused with the GPU die, or else AMD is also getting into memory fabrication...

If I recall correctly, it will have 4 layers at the start, but can go up to 8 layers with HBM gen 1. Might change later. Also, I wonder when they will start to think of putting two or more of those blocks onto a PCB ๐
