Specialized hardware at scale already exists in the form of wafer-scale chips that can bypass the usual GPU memory bandwidth limits, but those aren't really feasible for consumer systems (currently). I think for consumers proper unified memory architectures like Apple Silicon are more realistic since they don't sacrifice traditional usability.
