Unified memory blows the SoCs off the M1 Macs
- rektide 6y agoJust a reminder that AMD was building "heterogenous uniform memory access" chips back in 2013[1], with very much the same intent. Different product segments, but same ideas. Different but similar topic, just last week, AMD announced "smart access memory", which is not unified/uniform memory, but is their own system for expanding the video card RAM aperture allocation, something invented back in AGP video card days (1997-2004) as a segment of system ram dedicated to transfer space to/from the video card.
