Im curious as to how ddr4 could help apus with the increased bandwith.
And why cant we shove gddr5 in our system as shared memeory? ps4 can do it somehow.

It would help a little bit, but you'll hit other bottlenecks on the motherboard.

DDR4 (at high speed -- low timings) would make the current APUs fly.

AMD has hinted that HBM will be used as 'eDRAM' on the next-gen APUs.

Bandwidth in the case of GDDR5 isn't everything. You also need low latency turn around times for the data using in smaller, more random operations being done by the CPU.

I'm sure that should be outputs
