BTW, 12Gb chips aren't even particularly useful or practical for ECC configurations, as these ones use typically 72bit to add ECC capabilities to a 64bit word, and that's simply achieved adding 8bit to those 64bit. Even thinking to use just one 12Gb chip to provide all the necessary bits one can easily see it's not the right size, as 72/64=9/8 ratio, while 12GB can't be divided exactly by 9 to assign 8 parts to data and one part to parity.

Okej, you guys are very funny dudes. Very nice trolling, should have caught it earlier. 1,5/3 Gb ram sticks is already widely used in the smartphone market and is now coming to the discrete gpu market. Pemalite giving me a link to guess estimate from anandtech of the gddr5x specifications gave him away.

And very soon for Gpu market, so enjoy :)

I don't really get what you are saying but I can assure you....

LPDDR3/4 is very very very evry very diffferent from GDDR5/6.

And whoever goes with 1.3GB would be slamming themselves into a hole cause they would be the only ones using it which would make it more expensive for them than say using 2GB chips that the rest of the industry is using; thats economy of scale for you right there.

But this is all moot, next gen will at the very worst use 2GB chips of GDDR6 and would total either 16GB or 24GB depending on if they go with 8/12 chips on the board. It wouldn't even surprise me if they used two sepertae pools of Ram, 20GB of GDDR6 (10 2GB chips) for games/applications and 4-8GB of LPDDR4 ram for the OS.
