Apple machines are already pretty much not RAM-upgradeable. And they design their own chips too. So if there were benefits to putting RAM on the die (I don't know myself, others in this thread suggest there are in fact not), Apple would seem like a possible first mover, they don't seem subject to the downsides.



This is exactly what "unified memory" is on Apple systems, the RAM is on the silicon with the CPU.
