If a modern day processor, like the Athlon X2 3800+ had instead of 512K of cache, a whopping 2GB of cache. Would it then take precidence over normal RAM? Would you even need RAM at that point?
Yes it would take precedence over SDRAM but with the cost of building 2 gigs of solid ram that runs at full die speed you'd most likely be looking at a CPU that cost in the thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.
It'll be sweet when they can build all of the system so close together the latency would be next to nothing, graphics and all on one chip with the motherboard for adding on extra things like your keyboard port and whatever :P Upgrading would suck though
I wonder if they were to just have some geek fun and take some older type components like a TNT2 card and a duron plus the memory and all the normal old school components and put them all on single chip how that would perform... in compairison to modern systems heh.
