Yeah I think so too. If they can execute from off chip Ram, perhaps with a wait state or whatever it takes, for a ton of use cases no one will even notice.

It will all just effectively be large RAM.

Doing that coupled with a fast SSD, and people could be doing seriously large data work on relatively modest machines in terms of size and such.

A very simple division could be compute bound code ends up being on chip RAM, I/O bound code of any kind ends up in big RAM, off chip.

Doing just that would rock hard.
