    What's the main blocker (other than the current inflated cost) for using HBM instead of DRAM as the primary memory for consumer electronics?

      Nothing except CPU manufacturer choices. Mac laptops use it and they're consumer products.

      People will have to get used to buying a fixed amount of RAM with their CPU but thats unlikely to be a problem.

        The normal non-tech-savvy person already does this. They simply don't know that their ram is upgradeable or something else breaks first, before having to touch ram.

          what is this too much RAM thing you mention? I thought the only valid RAM situation you could find yourself is not enough RAM. Too much? That's just fantasy
