Interesting idea: Intel Xeon CPU with HBM2e

Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids feature up to 64GB HBM2e memory - VideoCardz.com

Intel Sapphire Rapids Xeon with up to 64GB of HBM2e memory Today at Supercomputing 2021 Intel made a new disclosure on 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable CPUs known as Sapphire Rapids. Intel already revealed it will launch two types of Xeon’s based on Sapphire Rapids architecture, either with or without...

Maybe Mac Pro grade SoC might have HBM2e or HBM3 for better performance?

Thoughts?

My ideal unified memory system would be HBM or GDDR (like the PS5 or XBox One X) and not DDR.

HBM2e is old news tho?

I dont know if Apple can get HBM3 by 2022 since it took a year to use LPDDR5 while Samsung already did a while ago.

Didn't Intel announce it like a half a year ago? And didn't we discuss Apple using HBM in Mac Pro a while ago? I don't understand why it would be better performance though. LPDDR5 at the same bus with has better performance. The problem is space (HBM is more compact, but also has lower capacity).

My ideal unified memory system would be HBM or GDDR (like the PS5 or XBox One X) and not DDR.

Why? HBM has lower total capacity potential than the solution Apple uses now. GDDR runs way too hot and the latency is bad. For laptops, Apple's solution is superior. For high-end desktops, we'll see what they will come up with.
