<pre>Nice resource, thanks.
If someone wonders why things look the way they do, so it's all about
on-die and off-die memory. Either you use off-die or on-die memory, often
SRAM which requires 6 gates per bit. So spending half a billion gates
gives you ~10MB buffer on-die. If you're doing off-die memory (DRAM or
similar) then you'll get the gigabytes of memory seen in some equipment.
There basically is nothing in between. As soon as you go off-die you might
as well put at least 2-6 GB in there.

The HMC memory allows improvements in execution time and consumed
energy. In some situations, this memory type permits removing the L2
cache from the memory hierarchy.
