    HBM memory can technically be used by consumer GPUs. In 2015, AMD released the Radeon R9 Fury X which used HBM. When the bubble pops and there’s an extreme oversupply of HBM sitting in warehouses, we will get those types of GPUs back.

    And even if the big players decide not to do it, crazy people in China will build their own products and adapters, they will even desolder HBM from worthless datacentre GPUs.

    Either way, it’s gonna be glorious for us all. Let’s just hold on for a while longer, until all of the dominos have fallen.
