1st gen of tech breakthroughs is seldom a clean and unproblematic event.
Hell, I remember when DDR emerged. It was expensive, and limited in terms of long wait states vs. previous gen SDRAM. I remember testing some specialty PC-166 SDRAM and it was actually faster than my other system running PC1600 DDR memory with an identical processor thanks to lower latency. Of course, DDR took off and left SDRAM behind, and I'm sure a ton of other examples could be found.
2nd gen HBM should be awesome, and not ludicrously expensive hopefully.
