> 3. Intel still hasn't moved to on-chip RAM, shared across all core-types. (As far as I know?)

Apple doesnt have on chip RAM either. They do the exact same thing PC manufacturers do: use standard off the shelf DDR.

Ah yes. The CPU and RAM are mounted tightly together in a system on a chip (SOC) package, so that all RAM is shared by CPU, GPU, DPU/Neural and processor cache.

I can't seem to find any Intel chips that are packaged with unified RAM like that.
