For chips with integrated CPU+GPU+NPU, it could be worth it tech-wise. The GPU and NPU can eat HBM bandwidth. For general purpose CPU code, the HBM would likely not be worth it. It's high bandwidth, but you trade latency, and general CPU code is branchy. Economics-wise, the HBM stacks alone will cost more than a consumer CPU (or APU).
[edit] The packaging needed to support HBM is also much more expensive too. If demand for current HBM applications tanks and the manufacturing lines need filled, then maybe. Currently, the price point would make it very very niche.
