Yeah, the throughput/latency tradeoff is real. Here’s an unusual motherboard salvaged from Xbox Series X which combines AMD Zen2 CPU cores, GDDR6 memory, where the integrated GPU is disabled due to defects: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/4800s-xbox-chip-shows-us-why-cpus-do-not-come-with-gddr6 https://www.tomshardware.com/news/4800s-xbox-chip-shows-us-w... The performance is not great. GPUs are good at hiding the latency due to high degree of parallelism. GPU cores switch to another thread instead of waiting for the data. Each CPU core only runs 2 threads, it can’t quite do the same thing. GPU memory access patterns are only great for well written compute shaders (or CUDA kernels) when the developer who wrote that shader managed to do fully coalesced loads and stores. Memory access patterns for pixel shaders are not that great, especially when doing trilinear or anisotropic sampling in these shaders.
