Well wccftech just posted an article highlighting the delay of HBM2 and stating it's the reason Vega 10 high end gaming components aren't out yet. Timeline looks a little different.

The 9 Month HBM2 Delay & Progressive Decline In Clock Speeds

We?re now seeing evidence that HBM2 is behind schedule, significantly so. Hynix updates its product databook on a quarterly basis. HBM2 first made an appearance in the company?s product catalog back in Q3 2016.

Hynix originally planned to ship HBM2 in Q3 2016 but it was pushed back a quarter in every update since then. The company initially planned to introduce two HBM2 products, rated at 2.0Gbps and 1.6Gbps. Overtime, the 2.0Gbps product was ostensibly scrapped in favor of the slower memory, likely because of yield/cost challenges.

According to the latest update from Hynix, HBM2 is still not available right now but is expected to begin shipping some time in Q2 2017. Memory products that Hynix is shipping right now are marked ?Now? under the availability column. Products not currently shipping have a quarterly based estimated shipping time-frame instead. This is is why HBM2?s availability is stated as ?Q2?17? rather than ?Now?
