There had been rumors about AMD working on a huge APU with Zen cores and Greenland HBM graphics, something that AMD had hinted upon in its official roadmap. However, it has (finally) officially revealed details about the upcoming APU in a paper submitted to IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer). The APU, dubbed an Exascale Heterogeneous Processor or EHP for short is the mother of all APUs with 32 Zen Cores, an absolutely huge Greenland graphics die and upto 32 GB of HBM2 memory all on a 2.5D interposer.

The research in question can be found over here and requires paid access, however we were able to get the relevant piece courtesy of Bitsandchips.it. As you may notice, the diagram is a very simple block diagram that doesnt really reveal much, except the number of CPU cores. Fortunately for us, AMDs roadmap and the relevant knowledge of HBM technology makes it almost childs play to identify the exact parts.
