Any word on how much embedded DRAM (and clocks) for the appropriate parts?

Pre 2000 era PCs were already slow for their time because most of them were installed with too little RAM to start with.

Also (regardless of bandwidth) everything was single channel and integrated memory controllers were still a few years off.

Iris Pro was cool when it came out but since that time dedicated graphics has been steadily improving in performance/watt to the point that it only seems remotely relevant in the mobile space and even now Maxwell is just starting to hit it there too. If only they'd put Iris Pro in something that ISN'T a quad core, 8 thread expensive beast.

Remember that Iris Pro comes with 64/128MB of L4 cache which can have a more general impact on performance. There also are Iris Pro Core i5s.

In hindsight, I was focusing purely on the graphics capabilities of Iris Pro since it was marketed so heavily as some sort of "this is where dGPUs start to die off," but so many months on that notion seems laughable.
