3D stacking manufacturing process, GPU and memory chips are closely stacked and thus better (shorter) connectivity between them => high bandwidth with lower power.
with first generation of HBM you'll get 2GB at 256GB/s or 4GB at 512GB/s / core. Later versions can scale up to 8GB/core at 2TB/s (2016).
Edit: Actually it is up to 64GB at 2TB/s with 2nd generation HBM.

From these leaked slides it doesn't look like, they show a limit of 4 stacks/128GB/s (4x128=512) with 1GB/stack maximum for the first generation.
In fact the HBM bus width is 1024bit even for the first generation, so make that 1TB/s

Bring it on. Anything that makes the competition more fierce is a good thing.

Comes with Mantle v2! But only for 2 games 6 months after card is released..
(sry couldnt resist).

Mantle V1 is good enough, API doesnt need adjustments like TressFx or Physx :P
OT; good, hopefully it will be cooler too..

I'd be happy if they'd release a Mantle driver that would detect my second screen :bang:

Nice, competition is good!

Any more info, or just this new vram stuff?
Although I expect it to have lower temp. threshold now..

They should release drivers that are worth a damn instead of releasing a new card...

Nice!
Since the ram is stacked how hot will they get and how would they be cooled?

some nice power reduction
