That's what a replacement for the Infinity Fabric would do.
Don't get me wrong, the Infinity Fabric has served AMD well for years but it's showing signs of it being unable to keep up with the demand. Not only is it bandwidth starved, and can you see that in how the 3DX chip versions are so much faster than their non-3DX versions since it doesn't have to communicate with outside RAM as often which involves going over, you guessed it, the Infinity Fabric. But it's also power hungry, and it has latency issues as well.
AMD needs to develop a new data interconnect pathway, and all rumors point to that happening with Zen 6 which introduces, as I alluded to before, something similar to Apple's UltraFusion.
Everytime I hear latency I think how slow 80 nanoseconds are?
