Memory move is the bottleneck these days, thus the expensive HBM, Nvidia's design is also memory-optimized since it's the true bottleneck chip wise and system wise.

Why haven’t all GPUs migrated to HBMx?

You seldom see it.

It’s expensive, not needed for most consumer workloads and ironically, is actually often worse for latency for many patterns, even though it’s much higher bandwidth

why is that ironic? Many ways to increase bandwidth come at the cost of latency...
