Lol, man are people clueless, 16k chips is 32k HBM2 modules, you can fit that much modules in THREE(3) 300mm wafers
Are you trying to tell me Hynix managed to produce a grand total of THREE wafers in several months?
>>60284825
It's stupid rumor started by some retard on Tweaktown soley to garner clicks and attention. Dumb frogposter.
>>60284857
Also this, holy fuck people Hynix produced over a million wafers monthly like any large foundry.
PAPER LAUNCH!!!!
lmao vega is so fucking DOA
16000 hours in paint

"I've had an exclusive industry source"
Yes, his exclusive industry source is his ass. Which he just pulled those numbers out of.
)))AMD((( > (((Intel)))
Even if it's true, 20k units of $600+ GPUs don't sell out that fast.
He forgot to mention to wait for Volta because it's coming soon.
just wait lol more will come for sure

I never buy shit at launch anyway. I wasn't planning on my rebuild until end of the year so this shouldn't really affect me....r-right /g/?

>he doesn't remember the 7970
>>60284857
you're off by a factor of a few orders of magnitude I think, even if your point is still mostly right.
16k cards = 32k stacks = 128k DRAM dies.
3*300mm wafers ~= 210k mm^2.
An HMB2 die is ~90mm^2, not 1.6mm^2.
>>60286901
Uh yeah, massive brain fart on calculation there, even still, the amount of dies required compared to Hynix wafer output per month(1.2M IIRC) is outright pathetic.
>>60286961
Yup, even if you take into account that both mounting yields, TSV yields and interposer yields and even DRAM yields are abysmal case 40% that's still not even 2% of Hynix's total output.
So yeah, the supply issue makes no sense.
