The lack of write endurance on these would make these chips throwaway after some amount of use. As much as the performance characteristics would be excellent, I really hope we don't go down the path of building GPU ASICs which will eventually totally cease to function when their NAND arrays fail. I'd hope they would then fall back to functioning without NAND, but there's almost no chance modern corporations would care about supporting their ability to function after that happens... if we do this, parts of computing history will be very difficult to preserve long term. And I know Apple is already doing this. sigh.
