Yeah. And at 3200 Mbit/sec, that comes out to 200GB/s. (3200 MHz x 8-bytes (aka 64-bit) == 25GB/s. x8 channels == 200GB/s).

That's 6x *1024-bit* HBM2 channels. Total bandwidth is 2000GBps, or over 10x the speed of the "8x channel EPYC". Yeah, HBM2 is fat, extremely fat.

*ONE* HBM2 channel offers over 300GBps bandwidth. And the A100 has *SIX* of them. Literally ONE HBM2 channel beats the speed of all 8x DDR4 EPYC memory channels working in parallel.
