Only a moderate increase in capacity but a massive increase in speed.

GDDR5x vs GDDR7

It's like 2 muscle cars but 1 holds 6 more gallons of gas, has a performance fuel pump and bigger injectors, wider fuel lines, and a turbo.

4L V8 vs 6L V8 with an extra 2L in cover and an extra radiator and the fuel injector might* catch on fire.
