Predict: Next gen console tech (10th generation edition) [2028+]

I haven't seen super detailed memory scaling for 9800x3d yet, but it seems like diminishing returns start to hit around ddr5 6000. With the 3D v-cache parts you generally seem to be less constrained by memory latency and bandwidth, depending on the game. I could see a console using 3D v-cache and then going with memory that's a little more conservative(cheaper) in terms of timings, bandwidth.

It might scale higher if the memory controller wouldn't need to shift gears to 1:2 after that

Hmm... Is it conceivable that DRAM will be used again with fast SRAM? I understand that it is difficult to implement SRAM in sizes around 1GB, which is why it is only used in special cases these days. I wonder how big a scratchpad should be for a new console?
