As a computer engineer, I can barely state how excited I am for systems with high bandwidth where I don't have to route gobs and gobs of very high speed ram.

It's radically simpler and smaller a computer to build. That has huge upsides. For laptops maybe this isn't a huge win, but for tablets and smaller computers, this is such an incredible win. And for making it simpler to build computers, to expand the range of who can make systems? It's everything.

Small devices are the best use case for on package memory, yes. But at the same time I don't know of any that go beyond a 128-bit bus. Most are 64-bit.
