As I understand it, the killer app is llms. You could run MACs directly in RAM, offloading a lot of work from CPU and cutting down on insane (external) memory bandwidth required.

Imagine (this is a fantasy pitch but potentially achievable for some use cases) wanting to run a larger llm and all you have to do is buy more RAM so it fits.

Isn't this how it works today already? Granted you wanted to run it on RAM rather than VRAM.
