1024 GCN core Vega chip, with HBM2 and 1.2 GHz core clock should be on par with RX 470D, in some games(like Doom, Vulkan).How they are going to archive that exactly? RX470D is over 100W TDP for the GPU alone, you want a 4/8 + RX470 + HBM stack for 95W?? I really dont think that is tecnically possible. MB VRMs might also be a problem, they were already a problem for FM2.
Also i dont think they can offer an APU like that for less than $300, remember that they need to make money at the end of the day. They also have Microsoft and Sony pressure NOT to do something like that, console killer APU for less money than a console? yeah, not gonna happen.
Why do people believe that APUs with HBM2 would be cheap solution?
