HBM2 Memory, but AMD has Access?

[Austin Borg]

Just posting a cool article I found this quote is from the bottom of this website: http://www.christiantoday.com/article/nvidia.pascal.release.date.delayed.amd.priority.access.hbm2/59018.htm

 

Note that HMB2 is projected to have a memory bandwidth of 1TB/sec, three times faster than that of NVIDIA GTX 980Ti and two times that of the current HBM1 on AMD Fury X.

 

 

Why get 4 Titan X's when you can get 8 Pascal Titans! (1 Pascal = 10x Titan X's) and Pascal has 8 GPU SLI Capability. Rip Skins 

 

IT ISN'T THROUGH PCI-E!!!! READ THIS: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2898175/nvidias-next-gen-pascal-gpu-will-offer-10x-the-performance-of-titan-x-8-way-sli.html

 

or this summary: All-important memory bandwidth—which can choke a GPU's performance if it can't keep up—will be three times that of Maxwell. Since Pascal will feature the company's upcoming NVLink technology, which Nvidia claims outperforms PCI-E by five times, Huang says he expects to be able to run up to eight discrete GPUs in a single machine, rather than today's limit of four.

Why would you even want a TB a sec memory bandwith if PCI-E cant even support it (Correct me if I'm wrong)

because neither onboard memory nor video memory touches the PCI-e bus (in normal circumstances)

it's not through PCI-E. Hold up lemme grab the article that explains it
