I hate to break it to PC builders, but DIMMs are starting to max out, signal integrity over those pins is becoming a problem. Before long, CPU RAM is probably gonna be soldered and packaged with the CPU anyway.

The architecture won't necessarily be like Apple though. The CPU/GPU could be their own tiles, meaning we could have GPU-less SKUs that still use PCIe GPUs. And the SoCs or whatever they are can still be socketed.
