I don't think DDR4 is significantly cheaper. Plus, they would have had to go a CPU generation back too then and I think the AMD CPUs of that generation had way worse integrated graphics, so now you'd need a dedicated GPU as well.

I haven't been following the Steam Machine, but are they using integrated graphics for it?

Nah, it's some kind of a mobile GPU.

Looks like a custom GPU configuration based on AMD hardware to me. So not an iGPU, but also not a mainline card.
