Stimmt schon, nur stehen eben beim SK Hynix HBM2 Speicher alle Anzeichen auch bei 'Insidern' mit Grossen ??? Fragezeichen und hinterfragen die langen Verzögerung beim Release der Vega Grafikkarten .... wäre sinnvoll wenn AMD hier mal offen & ehrlich seinen Investoren ein Statement abgeben würde.

Samsung's 8GB HBM2 Becomes a Standard for Innovative Graphic Cards
AMD Vega, 2017 edition: what’s new?
The first surprise is at the supply chain level. According to System Plus Consulting, GlobalFoundries is developing the GPU die as well as probably the interposer. In parallel, ASE is in charge of the assembly of the device, with Amkor Technology as a second source.
Regarding the memory, named High Bandwidth Memory-2 (HBM2), System Plus Consulting clearly identified Samsung as the key supplier of the AMD GPU, 2017 edition. HBM2 is a stack of 8GB based on 8-DRAM dies. This is the main difference from the AMD GPU released in 2015.
Today, the Samsung 8GB HBM2 is the only solution commercially available.
“This result is a real surprise,” says Romain Fraux, System Plus Consulting’s CTO. “AMD’s HBM was initially developed by SK Hynix. Today, both GPU’s leaders AMD and NVidia collaborate with Samsung.
Does this mean that SK Hynix’s technology was not ready? From the Samsung side, its announcement in July confirmed our results.”

BTW: bei AMD's Fiji lag es ja auch daran, dass HBM 1 nur einzig und alleine von SK Hynix angeboten wurde .... 1 Hersteller = 1 Speichergeschwindigkeit
