Anandtech has an article on the GDDR6X variant[1] that NVIDIA has in their 3000-cards, where they use a more complex encoding to transmit two bits per clock edge.

I hadn't realized just how insane the bandwidth on the higher-ends cards are, the 3090 being just shy of 1 TB/s, yes, one terrabyte per second...

For comparison a couple of DDR5 sticks[2] will just get you north of 70GB/s...

The accelerators aimed squarely at datacenter use rather than gaming are even more ridiculous, Nvidias H100 has 80GB of memory running at 3.35TB/s.
