Hopefully one day AMD will make an APU with a fast iGPU. Something with performance equal to or faster than an RX 580, now that would be interesting...
Vega is not limiting AMD APU performance, memory bandwidth is.
It really is a shame, especially when you consider that an integrated console GPU from four years ago offered RX 580 performance (Xbox One X SoC).
