GDDR6 the successor to GDDR5X and HBM3 are scheduled to be released in 2018.

GDDR6 is cheaper than HBM3.

HBM3 allows for 64GB's and allows for more than 8 dies to be stacked together.

This is probably why Microsoft and sort of SONY aren't going to be sticking to consoles for five years or eight years anymore and instead will be releasing new consoles every what three years?

I can't wait for GPU's that have 64GB's of VRAM and like 40TFLOPS of GPU compute power.

Hmm, such horsepower might give a real boost to the attempted VR industry.

Maybe 128bit systems aren't that far to the future after all :hehe:

*looks up from 8-bit NES*

-Hmm?

64-bit addressing tops out at 16 exibibytes (~16 000 000 000 GB). We still have roughly nine orders of magnitude to go. Assuming Moore's law holds (doubling of density each 18 months) we'll reach that in... ~40 years.

And 4kb is enough for everyone? :teehee:

Yes, it's unlikely to ever happen, but stranger things have happened.

Wonderful machine, uses only 7 Watts of electicity, requires no cooling, and still works after nearly 30 years ^_^

Graphics cards don't need anywhere near 64GB of vram right now and would be a hindrance to Nvidias marketing ploy which is trickle down business model.

They'll release 12gb..then 16gb..then a revolutionary 26gb..then the 26gb ti..lol

What do you mean by 128-bit systems? PS2 was 128-bit.

And still half life 3 nowhere in sight..what a glorius day this is indeed.

And the 64 in Commodore 64 was for 64 bit too :hehe:

But i obiviously referred to those bits that are 64 in "x64". What ever that is :shrug:

Oh, wait, the 64 in C64 was for 64kB of RAM.

PS2 was 64-bit with some 128-bit wide SIMD registers (that is to say, each register held 4 32-bit values that could be processed simultaneously) and accompanying load/store and SIMD instructions. Saying the PS2 was 128 bit is like saying Intel and AMD CPUs produced after 2011 are 256-bit because they have 256-bit wide SIMD capabilities thanks to AVX.
