(which we will now have to transition to after the unwelcome, abrupt, and premature end-of-life of the fantastic Virtex UltraScale+ HBM family (https://docs.amd.com/v/u/en-US/XCN23006). "Killed by AI.")

The fine traffic generator demo in this video seems to confirm my suspicion that, despite Versal's hard NOC, to access the full bandwidth of HBM2e, anywhere in the fabric, you will have to employ a soft NOC like the Hoplite NOC in the GRVI Phalanx family.
