It's not clear to me that discrete GPU's are inherently faster. Historically yes. You got 16gb or whatever on the card near the compute core. So what if you put 16gb of the same memory on the package with the APU instead? Shout out to PCIe for unhelpful latency characteristics and barely adequate atomics support as my primary objection to discrete GPUs. It's also plausible that games will become less demanding of the state of the art in GPU. If a playstation APU can play them beautifully, maybe a higher spec PC one will manage the same despite the OS and libraries overhead. I think dedicated GPUs are probably on their way out.
