Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
3060 uses DDR5 or GDDR6? If it's the later, equally surprising as my assumption was that RAM chips are the biggest bottleneck right now.

GDDR6. It's much cheaper to them than GDDR7 and they don't have to deal with TSMC, using samsung node for 3060.

Oh got it, for some reason in my mind GDDR6 was still the new hotness. Didn't realize GDDR7 already came out 2 years ago, lol

I wonder if this has more to do with ai, 12gigs loads way more than 8gigs for model sizes for local hosting?

AMD brings back 5800X3D and Nvidia brings back 3060. Hilarious.

It doesn't have to do anything with anything, the card has never left production, there is no news.
