It's totally exciting - we are in a new era of tech advancing super fast again. IMO, things have been rather stalled the last 6-7 years, as tech was moving to more efficient and less raw power and speed. It's kinda sad in a way new consoles are coming out right at the beginning of this, as in just a few years, things will be 10-100 times more powerful.
Still, I will do my best to enjoy it now, and also when the new stuff comes along.

The first card to come out utilizing this will be launched in 2016 at the earliest, and it will probably be reserved for their $500 and above cards only at first. By the time this becomes more mainstream we will be talking about PS5 anyway.
Also just to compare:
X360 ''Xenos'' gpu has a bandwith of 22.8 GB/s. PS4 will, if it's indeed based on HD78xx technology about 153GB/s of bandwith. So that's about 8 times as much. Going from 153GB/s to 1000GB/s would be an increase off about 6.5 times. So no technology advancement is not speeding up.

No no it doesn't work that way, Xenos to PS4 is 8 years PS4 to Volta 3 Years, its indeed a huge jump.

No it doesn't work that way either, because Volta will be a Very high end card first, you're comparing console tech with highest end pc tech now.
If we take a hd7970 for example we get 264GB/s bandwidth and that card is over a year old already. So in 4 years bandwidth wil be about 4 times as high as now, wich means a doubling every 2 years. It's pretty pretty impressive but as big as people here are making it out to be. For example the HD2900 series using GDDR4 memory actually tripled memory bandwidth in one year compared to the X1800 series.
Just clarify the X360 has 22,4 GB/s and the HD2900 XT wich launched just over a year later jumped to 128gb/s. That's almost as big as the difference between a PS4 and Volta in just over one year, and the 360 still did fine for years to come didn't it?
