Fuse an i7 processor with 32 GB of RAM. This should be far sufficient for all normal consumer needs, at this time.
You can still allow for additional memory, but this would function as a level 2 memory which is slower to access.
- tejasmanohar 9y agoI'm also curious what ever happened to this. I know it's not a new idea [0] but haven't seen it in practice. [0]: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/21/intel_converging_memory_and_cpus/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/21/intel_converging_mem...
- theandrewbailey 9y agoAMD has been shipping GPUs with HBM (on package RAM) for years. Recently, AMD and Intel have struck a deal to put that GPU+HBM in a CPU package. https://wccftech.com/intel-kaby-lake-g-amd-4gb-hbm-gpu-pictured-vega-11/ https://wccftech.com/intel-kaby-lake-g-amd-4gb-hbm-gpu-pictu... When HBM first came out, I mused at how much faster/more efficient a CPU+HBM chip could be. I wonder what's stopping it from happening.
