Polaris is used in Carrizo/Bristol Ridge, they didn't skip it

No need to be so sarcastic though, pretty sure nobody at AMD expected Vega to be that late. And to me, the reason is actually not the chip itself, but the drivers because many of the new features of Vega are still not unlocked in the driver.

They already use GCN architecture, but 3rd generation, the one before Polaris.
No sarcasm, I'm fine with AMD even when it's late, and it saddens me that the market didn't reward it as much as it deserved during the six years that it constantly surpassed Intel on desktop CPUs.

This. Stony Ridge, Bristol Ridge, Carizzo use Graphics Core Next 1.3/3.0.
Polaris is Graphics Core Next 1.4/4.0.

Carizzo-L actually uses Graphics Core Next 1.2/2.0.

There will not be a Polaris based APU.

The next APU will be based on Graphics Core Next 1.5/5.0/NCU (Aka. Vega) with Raven Ridge.
