That depends on whether performance or capacity is the goal. Smaller amounts of ram closer to the processing unit makes for faster computation, but AI also presents a capacity issue. If the workload needs the space, having a boatload of less-fast ram is still preferable to offloading data to something more stable like flash. That is where bulk memory modules connected though slots may one day appear on GPUs.

I'm having flashbacks to owning a Matrox Millenium as a kid. I never did get that 4MB vram upgrade.
