High volume 10nm could be really far away. I mean, the 14nm and 16nm FinFET processes today are essentially 20nm with smaller gates through FinFET process changes.

Well, you have to consider that people also had the expectation that it would come with HBM2, which was some of the justification for the price hike. Without that, people have been concerned about whether or not it is truly and enthusiast part, or if NV is pulling another 780 ti, where the Titan...

We won't likely see a nice full-chip anything for a while with the way things are going.

You are correct, but the manufacturing process cost is more important. For HBM1, if you had 1000 and ~90% (900 remain) yield on die, and then combined with HBM for the extra cost and an additional ~30-40% (~600 remain) yield hit for the interposer - the amount of die you lose is substantial. In...

There is so much misinformation about HBM. It's an insane technology.. and if you know anything about RAM, you know that it is often a bottleneck for the corresponding core. NV didn't choose GDDR5X over HBM because it wasn't "that" good - it was because it has a vastly more expensive...
