    While this will speed up loads of things, it also feels like this will end up being another way to remove upgradability from devices. Want more ram in your desktop buy a new cpu.

      I mean the physical distance between the RAM and CPU will eventually be the limiting factor right? It’s inevitable for more reasons than profit

        So… they’ll probably add some slower, larger-capacity memory chips on the side, and then they’ll need to copy data back and forth between the slow off-chip memory and the fast on-chip memory… I’m pretty sure they’ve just invented cache
