    Seems an odd sized chip. Will we be seeing 12GB DDR4 DIMMs based on them I wonder?

    Great, mobile phones get 6GB at 4266 Mbps per pin (34GB/s on a 64-bit bus), whereas even high end desktop DDR4 tops out at 3200 Mbps per pin, and most OEM systems ship with 2166 or 2400 MHz!

    I'm guessing that Package on Package has some locality benefits!

    More likely 16, 32GB or 64GB ECC DIMMs.

    Yeah, it's basically halfway to HBM.

    Guessing the reason we don't get it in desktops, as there is already a huge stockpile of DDR4 ram for the market for many years to come
