Or they try to make this a premium system and actually do have a seperate nano style GPU that's sort of XB1 sized?

Just thinking aloud at the possibilities. Like I said, Klepek has proper journalist chops unlike most people in games media, so if he has multiple sources saying the same things, Sony at least have something in the idea pipline.
It will depend on how much Sony wants to spend and charge customers, but of course it is doable. I have some PC systems here that fit the same footprint as the XB1 and have liquid cooled cpu and GPU(s) but no one in their right mind will pay for this to be a console.

If this isn't a PS4 Slim or whatever, then I would assume it's a zen based APU with native HBM and DDR4.
