You don't understand the ramifications of the HBM Ocre.
We all know that the 512bit GDDR5 with 320 GB/sec throughput was what was holding back Hawaii, so Fiji will be 10X faster with 10X faster memory......
RolloTheGreat prediction:
AMD will find some game where having much faster memory actually will matter to some extent.
This will be followed by 3,000,0000 posts of "I'll be buying the 390X because the high res texture packs of "Nemos Undersea Adventures" can really make use of the HBM! When the shark chases Nemo through the coral reef, there's a spot where it hitches with a Titan. Nemo HAS to be lifelike for me!".
People forget (intentionally or not) that memory bandwidth doesn't matter at all if what you have can feed the GPU as much as it can process.
