The Nvidia Jetson/Tegra line did (and does) unified memory. Released 2014[0]. Nvidia already has ARM cores. They’re just terrible compared to Apple, Samsung, etc.
This is what the attempted ARM acquisition by Nvidia was about - with the ARM talent, IP, etc they’d be able to integrate more than just memory (GPU, CPU, connectivity via Mellanox, etc).
Regulators shut it down (for good reason) but I can’t help but think we would have seen some really interesting and revolutionary platforms come from it.
