Mmmm perhaps. I can see where you're coming from, but 4 cores (or 2 maybe) plus HBM might be a very enticing chip for those without a dedicated gpu.
You will hit the TDP limit on the chip if you are using enough gpu cores if not then you would have a solution outperformed by simple APU because you could never saturate the bandwidth advantage without hitting ceilings faster (the amount of ram would drive the features also limit the resolution, not using it in this way it becomes expensive L2 cache).
It could work on certain hardware but in the x86 space there are cheaper solutions and AMD does not have the means to just throw money at a HBM APU solution.
