SKUs of Haswell with the GT3e graphics configuration include 128mb of on package DRAM, which is intended to give more memory bandwidth to the GPU, but it also acts as a cache for the CPU.

Based on what you're saying, it seems as though AVX-512 and future models with larger, faster embedded DRAM might play very nicely together.



I should have been clearer. I was talking about the cache hierarchy and CPU memory pipes. I suppose there's a divergence in main memory too, with CPUs using DDR3 and GPUs using GDDR5, but as you say you can just throw cache at that problem.
