Re:AMD Tackles Coming “Chiplet” Revolution With New Chip Net...

Seems to be the opposite.
With HBM2 being used in AMD's (and NVidia's) high-end products, it seems like the DRAM Channels are going to require an expensive interposer.
But "what else" can benefit from an interposer? If your RAM requires it, are there cheaper or more efficient designs that are built out of a network of chiplets on an interposer, as opposed to building out huge chips all the time?
AMD is already forced to build an interposer for Vega64. Might as well research other uses of it.
