Seems you have missed off the Vega clock speeds with upto 1750MHz and memory support, i have a 2500U in my laptop i do find it intresting it's replacement is a 6 core 6 thread vs 4 core 8 thread but with 3200MT/s DDR4 or LPP4X 4266MT/s memory support too which would give it a large performance increase in raw bandwidth for the APU.
