it does when you are dealing with a company that wants to maximize the yields as possible. there is quite a likelyhood they will decide to use the same dies multiple places. not saying this is a certainty, but minimizing the ammount of different dies they have to produce is a good strategy to increase ammount of usable dies and to lower costs. 

 

personal speculation i see them make 2 or 3 variants of Navi initially. one for smaller APUs and one larger for console, and desktop GPUs. i dont see a reason for them to make a seperate die for consoles.

they will want to add extra instructions, skip some steps and things like that (last time they implemented some common dx12 instructions directly in hardware), so i am not sure they will go with the chiplet route
