AMD revealed at a recent high performance computing event that it is working on new designs that use 3D-stacked DRAM and SRAM on top of its processors to improve performance. Like other semiconductor vendors, AMD is working to move to 3D architectures to improve performance density. This approach also presents challenges due to thermal and power delivery constraints.
Nonetheless, AMD is moving to adopt new stacked memory architectures as it sees this as the most important step in the near term. AMD already stacks HBM2 memory next to its GPU die, meaning it resides in the same package as the processor, but the company plans to move to true 3D stacking in the near future.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    It is all about VR if you ask me. This is a stepping stone moving forward to innovation. AMD is doing the right thing.

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    This may be a nice lil package for consoles and laptops if it can be done cost effectively with their Vega line or future APU's in systems that usually aren't meant to be upgraded anyway.
