- AMD will not be releasing a 32GB model of the upcoming Radeon 9070XT. (Tom's Hardware)
But they will be holding a launch event on February 28, with cards expected at retail in the first week of March.
- If 32GB of memory on your graphics card isn't enough how about 4TB? (Tom's Hardware)
SanDisk has announced high-bandwidth flash.
Similar to high-bandwidth memory (HMB) it uses a stack of flash dies connected to a very wide bus to deliver hundreds of gigabytes per second of bandwidth.
And then, in SanDisk's plan, you put it on a video card so you have terabytes of local memory - since flash is much cheaper and smaller than DRAM.
Problem is of course that it's also a lot slower, at least for writes. But if your entire dataset can live semi-permanently on your video card, is that a problem anymore?

This laptop uses an FPGA to emulate the original hardware - up to 20x faster than the original hardware - and includes compatible ports for the joysticks and cartridges, along with 2MB of RAM - very rare at the time, a 1024x768 display, also rare, and 4GB of flash storage, which was totally unheard of.
