Seriously putting a couple gigs of on-package graphics memory would completely change the game, especially if it does some intelligent caching and uses RAM for additional memory as needed.

I want to see what happens if Intel or AMD seriously let a generation rip with on package graphics memory for the iGPU. The only real drawback I could see is if the power/thermal budget just isn't sufficient and it ends up with wonky performance (which I have seen on an overly thin and light laptop I have in my personal fleet. It's got a Ryzen 2600 by memory that's horribly thermally limited and because of that it leaves so much performance on the table)
