Do people really need 1.5 TB of unified memory? If you had 128 GB of unified memory and another pool of 1.5 TB or whatever of “slower” memory (more like normal speed on the Intel/AMD side) would that work?
You (or the OS or the chip) could page things in and out if the unified memory. Treat unified memory as a MEGA L3 cache.
Depending on how it’s done it may not be transparent if you want the best performance. But would it work?
