The thing I worry about is that the whole appeal of the Mac Pro is upgradeability — you can replace components over time. So integrated RAM would be problematic since that's a component people definitely like to upgrade.
But with your idea... I dunno, if they could pull that off that would be super cool!
- ddingus 6y agoYeah I think so too. If they can execute from off chip Ram, perhaps with a wait state or whatever it takes, for a ton of use cases no one will even notice. It will all just effectively be large RAM. Doing that coupled with a fast SSD, and people could be doing seriously large data work on relatively modest machines in terms of size and such. A very simple division could be compute bound code ends up being on chip RAM, I/O bound code of any kind ends up in big RAM, off chip. Doing just that would rock hard.
