The economic point stands that you aren't going to get a processor with only cache and no RAM because virtually no workloads want such an unbalanced system.

As SSDs get faster and L3 caches get larger, will conventional RAM get squeezed out? I know Optane failed a few years back, but that kind of convergence seems inevitable in the long term.

Isn’t it inevitable that conventional RAM will continue to get larger and faster as well?

IDK, I got the impression that while RAM was getting larger and higher-throughput, that was coming at the cost of higher latency.
