This is not the first SK Hynix 16 Gbit DDR4 chip. They already exist today despite what the website says, but as the die shrinks they will become smaller.
Excellent! This'll make 16GB sticks much cheaper too. FreeNAS with ZFS always seems to be a bit snappier when you can store the entire index in memory, and at 12D/96TB I'm past what a 2x8 kit can handle without a lot of page file access.
The ~effective mainstream ceiling of 4x 8GB ranks on dual channel platforms like am4 is a drag for more folks than u imagine. The new 64GB will be welcome.

Are we to expect increased GDDR capacity as well?shabby - Tuesday, October 22, 2019 - link
Only if your wallet permits it.tygrus - Tuesday, October 22, 2019 - link
A 40% power reduction for the same system capacity means the larger modules use 20% more power for doubling the capacity (1.2x older 8Gb module).patrickjp93 - Tuesday, October 22, 2019 - link
