Not HBM

>HBM
Is a meme

We know that it's demonstrably false and that HBM2 is the fastest. GDDR5X has the advantage of being cheaper than HBM2 but still fast enough to compete with HBM and take advantage of the fact it's not restricted to just 4GB of memory. It is definitely not the fastest though.
>the fastest discrete memory component in the world
I'm fairly certain that's wrong but it's not like you can expect objectivity concerning Micron from a Micron announcement.

do you know what discrete means and what HBM is?
