The point of eDRAM is to gain performance moving it on the same module or die, so I'm not sure it buys you anything to put it in a different socket, you still have to go over the bus to get it. Usually eDRAM's structure doesn't make it perform better than any other DRAM, it just makes it able to be put on die or on package.
- reitzensteinm 12y agoI am not sure why you are being down voted. This is exactly right. Stacked memory is the future in order to enable extremely parallel ultra low latency access to memory. Putting it over a bus to elsewhere on the motherboard defeats the purpose, and even in graphics cards where manufacturers have complete control and can run a ton of traces to the memory, they are moving towards stacked memory. I believe pascal, nvidias next GPU, will feature it unless the roadmap recently changed. NUMA is about to get a lot more NUMA.
