Interesting finding, Kaby Lake G doesn't seem to support Rapid Packed Math, leading Toms to question if it's not scaled up Polaris with HBM2, rather than scaled down Vega.

AMD spin? Last I checked, all Kaby Lake parts were made and sold by Intel. If an Intel part is deemed to be "missing" a feature, I don't see how that's on AMD. It's up to Intel to know what they are buying.

FWIW, the "Vega" GPU in these parts isn't made by Intel. Surely they entered into an agreement as to what they're getting and they know what features it does and doesn't have, but they surely don't make the AMD GPU included in this part.
