Yes, it's interesting that HBM was invented by a collaboration between AMD and SK Hynix. It seems, HBM is the way to go for GPUs, anyway.

The GB202 die that's in the GDDR7 based RTX 5090 and RTX 6000 Pro literally needed to be this big to support the 512bit memory bus. It's probably only getting worse with smaller node sizes. (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCwgAGG2sZQ&t=65s).

BTW: The 1TB/s is matched by RTX4090 and surpassed by the RTX5090 (1,79 TB/s).
