RAM bandwidth breakthrough?

[Tracy R Reed]

Does anyone with more knowledge of hardware than I consider this 
significant? How much RAM could they fit on the chip if instead of 
making it quad-core they just made it dual-core and used the rest of the 
chip real estate for RAM? Since we don't use much of our CPU power as it 
is and are almost always IO bound investing in RAM instead of cores 
could be a really great way to improve performance:

Wow. RAM on cpu, 8-16 cores coming... LEARN ERLANG AND HASKELL!
