Not a Vega, unless AMD have suddenly lost the plot entirely and decided to invest funds into a specific variation of a Vega 20 that performs exactly the same as what's being replaced and explicitly create a 8GB HBM2 stack for it. Same goes for it being a baby WX compute card.

Engineering sample of something akin to the leaked RX 3060 using rough Vega drivers is more probable. Not saying it is, but it's a more feasible concept.

Vega 56 performance on an APU is surely impossible. That would re-define everything

The entirety of Zen 2's design is re-defining everything, so never say never. If Navi really is a dedicated gaming arch built on a tiny 7nm die, I'd say it's possible to get a Navi chiplet built and matched up with a CPU chiplet and I/O die. Lisa Su said no GPU chiplets in the Matisse design, but Zen 2-based APUs are Renoir, not Matisse, so there could be a bit of jigging around to allow for a GPU chiplet that's bigger than a CPU chiplet.

The ps5 would be an APU.
Where its performance lies I wouldn't know, but it has to be faster than the already decently powerful APU in the xbox one x.

And bandwidth is an issue, there's solutions for this.


Of course but such APU's are with held and contracted to Sony/Microsoft, plus they are not your typical AM4 socket either. The new APU's coming will be a little faster than current APU's, but not Vega 56/64 beating, if that happened the discreet GPU market would fail to exist.

On AM4 platform you'd hit a bandwidth issue anyway..
A custom APU with that sort of performance however isn't out of the realms of reality (Just not for consumers)

Maybe is the method AMD thinks is time to blast Nvidia out of the way :D
