The Fiji XT architecture after it had 512GB/S on a 4096b HBM bus in 2015.

The Vega architecture did have 400GB/s or so in 2017, which was a bit of a downgrade.

On: The economics of software teams: Why most engineering orgs are flying blind

I expect engineering departments to be flattened and reduced in people.
