If you keep your working set small enough, you should be able to tell the CPU it has RAM attached, but never actually attach any RAM.

It would never flush any cache lines to RAM, and never do any reads from RAM.

Part of me is asking whether some of the 'mitigations' to various things in microcode have necessitated reads from RAM?
