The Hybrid Memory Cube[/url=http://www.engadget.com/tag/HybridMemoryCube/] Consortium has been almost too patient in developing a standard for for its eponymous technology -- efforts began 17 months ago -- but it at last has more than good intentions to show for its work. Its just-published HMC Specification 1.0 lets companies build platforms and RAM with 2GB, 4GB and 8GB chips incorporating the stacked, power-efficient technology, all without compatibility jitters from other supporters. The completed spec is a scorcher when living up to its full potential, too. With eight links, a memory cube can reach a peak 320GB/s (yes, that's gigabytes) of aggregate bandwidth -- more than a hair faster than the 11GB/s we often get from existing DDR3 memory.

None-the-less, holy jesus that stuff sounds fast, and expensive.

How long until, mobo manufacturers ditch ddr slots and include "cube slots"?

I have probably overseen that post ;)
