It may already be happening, by sheer coincidence. A leak suggests Intel is building remarkably wide, M1-like IGP for laptops: https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-arrow-lake-p-with-320eu-gp...

Which was in the pipe years before the LLM craze. Its reasonable to assume AMD is on a similar trajectory, making their future CPUs GPU/NPU heavy. Pair that with lots of RAM (and hopefully wider buses), and you have a respectable LLM client.

This might be a reasonable frontier for smartphone performance too, depending on how much DRAM continues to shrink. But maybe not, since mobile apps love their subscriptions and MTX, which rely on doing stuff in the cloud... otherwise why would you subscribe?
