Don't know would say the reverse, workstation might need the performance of DRAM on Package/Die, but I don't believe it's the case for mainstream user.

Same maybe to service enterprise customer but probably way too expensive for mainstream.

I certainly hope that players continue to oppose tight integration and I'll try to support them. I value the ability that anyone can swap ram and disks to easily upgrade or repair their device more than an increase of performance or even battery life.

I recently cobbled up a computer for a friend's child with component from three different computers; any additional cost would have made the exercise worthless.
