I get that HBM2 in the near future is going to be a power problem. But according to this slide, Vega is at most at the "unhappy" emoji phase, which means still better (lower) power consumption for the memory subsystem than the gddr5. Isnt it ?
I mean, remember, it has TWO SLOW HBM2 stacks, thats in contrast with FOUR FASTER HBM1 stacks of Fury X. its not even at 0.5TB/s yet, and you are talking about a problematic 1,2TB/s+ speeds.That cant explain a 100W+ power envelope over FURY.
I only see it as a major AMD fckup, or GLOFO`s fault.

@SinOfLiberty
Is vega 11 the same chip with disabled CU`s ,or is it a separate chip ?
