Hi, sorry for late respond

What I meant with my previous post is you can have 8x 1,5gb ram sticks (or 4x 3gb ram sticks) for 256-bit buswidth for full bandwidth performance without any penalty. This can be used for 12GB of ram or even 24gb of ram with clamshell mode. This was not possible with GDDR5 and is not similiar to the 7950/7970 or 970 situation.

The point your missing is that 12 Gigabit chips aren't in the pipeline... They have been defined by JEDEC as a standard, that's pretty much it, they might not ever exist.
Samsung for instance -is- mass producing 16 Gigabit chips.

If something isn't being manufactured, then it's likely not going to be implemented in GPU's or Consoles, it's that simple.

Hynix for instance is going even lower capacity than Samsung for it's initial run and leveraging 8 Gigabit chips.

Now to convert Bit's into Bytes you divide by 8.
Thus...
12Gb/8 = 1.5GB.
16Gb/8 = 2GB.
8Gb/8 = 1GB.

We simply disagree then. I think both Amd and Nvidia will be using 1,5/3 Gb ram sticks. Quite a big chance both Sony and Microsoft will also use. Just because they haven't been announce yet doesn't mean we will see it in products. Example is specifications for gddr5x was released late march and two months later Nvidia announced the pascal gpus.
