There is room in the industry for both HBM and GDDR, 'till at least GDDR7.

IF a console were to use any HBM they would likely opt for a budget variant or try some monstrosity, hybrid with both GDDR6 and HBM2 or 3.

It was also ratified in 2016. GDDR6 was ratified in 2017.
HBM2 in Vega is going to have 409GB/s of bandwidth. So the low-cost HBM would be 327.2GB/s if it was on Vega. GDDR5X can push that. ;)

With that. It was only a proposal by Samsung. Not a real product.

I am thinking more for lower power draw and board size, for use in something like a Playstation Swap (or whatever).
I did put a IF in my statement about a console using HBM.
And I know this is not 100%.
