It only saves money If
1. It will only make sense if Intel were actually manufacturing the GPU themselves as well. In this case they dont. And EMIB is an Intel specific technology, AMD doesn't use it when they package HBM with their dGPU.
2. AMD makes a profit before selling it to Intel, and Intel has to make a profits for integrating it with EMIB, i doubt the cost saving of using EMIB together with HBM, if that was true, out done the profits margin of both companies.
