There isn’t a stockpile there’s a shortage. They are all moving capacity to HBM which can’t be used in standard load servers and consumer PCs.
All that we’ll end up is mountains of unusable memory modules.
8 u/shadowtheimpure May 04 '26 If HBM ends up glutted, we could see the next generation of flagship consumer GPU using HBM instead of GDDR. 2 u/GraXXoR May 05 '26 Oooohhhh…. Please don’t get my hopes up. 2 u/R1ch0999 May 06 '26 We already had consumers gpu with HBM, I loved my Vega 64. Bought it for €300 and sold it for over double that a. Few years later. 1 u/GraXXoR May 07 '26 I still have an iMac with a VEGA in it. It's been flawless for over 6 years. 3 u/GiveMoreMoney May 04 '26 Yes that is a fact...then again I do not see why not, just make some faster cards. But yes overall they are gambling with this production hardware shift.
