Man, I'm old enough to remember when 512 was a thing for consumer cards back when we had 4-8gb memory

Sure that was only gddr5 and not gddr6 or lpddr5, but I would have bet we'd be up to 512bit again 10 years down the line..

(I mean supposedly hbm3 has done 1024-2048bit busses but that seems more research or super high end cards, not consumer)
