Package on Package has many downsides though:

- The interconnect pitch is huge, 0.3mm-0.4mm. HBM memories have 1000s of I/Os

- The inductance of the solder balls and the impedance discontinuities in the path mean the logic below still has to have big energy-hungry I/O drivers

- If you want to stack more than one die, you need something expensive like through silicon vias (TSV)
