I think we don't really disagree, I just think that this shape isn't really a gpu its just a cpu because it isn't very good for graphics at that point.
That's why I said "basic GPU". It doesn't have to be too fast but it should still be way faster than a regular CPU. Intel already has Xeon Phi so a lot of things were developed already (like memory controller, heavy parallel dies etc.)
I wonder at that point you'd just be better served by CPU with 4 channels of RAM. If my math is right 4 channels of DDR5-8000 would get you 256GB/s. Not as much bandwidth as a typical discrete GPU, but it would be trivial to get many hundreds of GB of RAM and would be expandable.
Unfortunately I don't think either Intel or AMD makes a CPU that supports quad channel RAM at a decent price.
I guess it's hard to know how well this would compete with integrated gpus, especially at a reasonable pricepoint. If you wanted to spend $4000+ on it, it could be very competitive and might look something like nvidias grace-hopper superchip, but if you want the product to be under $1k I think it might be better just to buy separate cards for your graphics and ai stuff.
