Without HBM or more memory channels, the top SKUs will be rather hard to feed considering the (claimed) at least ~3-5x increase in instructions/s/socket while only increasing memory bandwidth by ~20%.

Maybe they mitigated that by increasing cache sizes, but there is no information available about that yet. I would expect that, since they support 4 threads per core and that may drive up cache usage (even though one thread may be able to be useful while another is waiting for a cache miss to clear).
