I wonder why AMD is not using GDDR5X? Licensing issue maybe? I mean, it seems like a good technology - a cost efficient way to implement higher memory bandwidth without requiring highly specialised HBM2.
We lack a whole lot of the insight to make even barely accurate statements on this matter: how much an HBM stack costs to AMD, how much a GDDR5x chip would cost them in terms of $$ and in terms of differences in die size, power consumption, pcb and components. That's not that clear.
