15x 1080 performance, almost all algorithms. But not timeline...

I get really skeptical at claims like “520MH ETH”.  Where is the 4TB/s of memory bandwidth coming from?

32 GB of installed memory = 130 GBytes/second per GB. If you go with the highest currently available pin rate (GDDR6), that would be 18Gbps per pin IO. 130GB/s -> 1 Tbit/s, so you need ~ 57 pins per GB of memory. Let’s account for overhead and say 64. That means two chips per GB, or 4Gb 32pin Chips. 64 chips, and over 2048 I/O lines. Not impossible, but definitely a lot of chips/expense.
