I still don't understand why HBM2 has less bandwidth than HBM. What is AMD up to and does it affect performance ? Google hasn't been of any help and I can't be arsed to do any big research since I'm more than happy with my current R9 Fury and Vega is out of budget for now. Anyone care to enlighten me ?
You're retarded.
Gaymers are retarded.

vega has a 2048 bit bus at 1800 mhz, fury 4096 bit at 1 ghz.
Performance isnt all about bandwidth. Its a balancing game between bandwidth, power consumption, heat dissipation, etc.
Difference between 2000 and 4000 bit is marginal compared to 256 and 2000.

Fiji uses 4-stacks configuration.
Vega10 uses 2-stacks configuration.
It's THAT simple.

Latency too

This
It has half the bus width in the Vega configuration because AND only put 2 stacks

For now, 32 GB (4 stacks?) configurations are hinted in recent leaks, but perhaps they are two dies configurations, so no improvement if that is the case.
