Summary

Bolt Graphics is developing a GPU with 2 DDR5 laptop DIMM slots for spill-over memory, targeting creators and data centers, aiming for production by Christmas 2027.

They have a few working prototypes, & are aiming for pre-production examples made by end of this year, & full production by Christmas 2027. Interesting specs: 5nm GPU "High performance CPU in GPU" on-card LPDDR5X as primary memory pool 2 DDR5 SODIMM slots for 'spill over' memory, can go 'well over 100GB' GPU has more cache to 'balance out the lack of SODIMM bandwidth' 'competitive' memory latency 2 (two) PCIe Gen5 x16 tabs RJ-45 1Gb: "you can run an OS on this [GPU card]" 'for data centers' Aiming for 120W. I think they have 12nm chips working, developing 5nm now. Their first target audience is 'creators', works now with Blender (they sponsor Blender Foundation). https://youtu.be/-fZM9wOvbh0
