SK Hynix will begin mass production of 4 GB HBM2 memory stacks soon:
SK Hynix has quietly added its HBM Gen 2 memory stacks to its public product catalog earlier this month, which means that the start of mass production should be imminent. The company will first offer two types of new memory modules with the same capacity, but different transfer-rates, targeting graphics cards, HPC accelerators and other applications. Over time, the HBM2 family will get broader.
SK Hynix intends to initially offer its clients 4 GB HBM2 4Hi stack KGSDs (known good stack dies) based on 8 Gb DRAM devices. The memory devices will feature a 1024-bit bus as well as 1.6 GT/s (H5VR32ESM4H-12C) and 2.0 GT/s (H5VR32ESM4H-20C) data-rates, thus offering 204 GB/s and 256 GB/s peak bandwidth per stack.
Samsung has already manufactured 4 GB stacks. Eventually, there will also be 2 GB and 8 GB stacks available.

FPS is pretty low performance stuff. Try maxed out modded minecraft for a real hardware challenge.
Although the bar is higher I'd agree there still is a bar in that what would I want to do in modded minecraft with 100x the graphic bus or 100x the CPU or 100x the memory, well, I haven't the faintest idea. Merely making thaumcraft 100x more grindy and complicated isn't it. I don't want to think about a bigreactors reactor thats 100x bigger. I guess TFC could be 100x grindier and TFC players would lap it up like kittens.
