Videocardz confirming a desktop APU with 4c/8t and 28CU Vega with 2 GB HBM2 cache.

This proves a lot of people wrong who were claiming HBM2 could never make it to mainstream high volume APUs in 2018. Now we can understand the reason behind Samsung's massive USD 26bn capex for 2018 of which USD 7bn is DRAM. With both Intel and AMD producing HBM2 based products in high volume somebody needed to ramp HBM2 capacity in a big way and thats Samsung.

If the thing is real it by no means is "mainstream", the same way KBL-G isn't.
Such chips cost more than an entry-level laptop.
EDIT: And if the thing is real, it is not an APU but a MCM part (just like KBL-G).
