I understood this part. I believe you didn't understand my second questiion.

It's about if it we are going to see GDDR5 (or what they choose) on smaller chips to make a pool and increase bandwidth or if the chip will have a very large bandwidth or speed itself that a single or 2 chips would be the best choice.

Gotcha... and talking about GDDR5X are we looking at few chips with high speed and bandwidth or a composition of several chips to combine and make high speed and bandwidth?

And on size of the memories how much difference would we expect a composition of chips versus "bigger" chips?

Its not really about the size of the memory chips but of the size of the memory bus, fewer, higher-capacity modules are better but in most cases the size of the memory bus really delivers the biggest punch in addition to the overal GB/s performance, I think the Nvidia Pascal uses 12x 1GB so I don't think we will see bigger memory chips, but it could be possible, we dont know the future :P

I'm asking that because I remember Sony choose to have more memory chips to have higher bandwidth right?
