i just wanted to get your guys opinions on this new type of 3d stacked memory idea ?
so after hitting a few tech news websites,
i stumbled on the fact that the http://www.hybridmemorycube.org/
hmc consortium just detailed their second revision
The HMCC 2.0 spec is released to the public as Micron and others display the latest HMC technology at Supercomputing 2014
about 4 days ago mind you, so this is current and new

- a single HMC can provide more than 15x the performance of a DDR3 module.
- The revolutionary architecture of HMC is exponentially more efficient than current memory, utilizing 70% less energy per bit than DDR3 DRAM technologies
nearly 90% less space than today's RDIMMs
ive seen packages of 30mm x 30mm for the new 320gb/s
and a cut down version of 19mm

supporting data rates of 1Tb/s (one trillion bits per second)
