You’re right. Like I said, atomics are one space. Another as you point out is that the memory architecture is pretty unique at providing high throughout and lower latency than traditional x86 architectures. I suspect Intel and AMD will adjust their roadmaps accordingly as a result of this new competition.

Where does the low-latency claim come from? Benchmarks do not validate it, giving main memory latency of around 100 ns.

Apparently you are right, but because of the lower clock, main memory is still closer in cycles. It would also be interesting to know the amount of outstanding main memory references.
