With RAM access being the one big bottleneck of a modern PC, can anyone in the know tell me about those SoCs? How much RAM did they have, and was it faster than external DIMMs?

For laptops, it seems like a winner to me. Do you need to expand your laptop's GPU memory? It was justified by lower power, and likely better transfer rates.
You shouldn't be comparing with DIMMs, those are a dead end at this point. CAMMs are replacing DIMMs and what future systems will use.
Intel likely designed Lunar lake before the LPCAMM2 standard was finalized and why it went on package. Now that LPCAMMs are a thing, it makes more sense to use those as they provide the same speed benefits while still allowing user replaceable RAM.
Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.
In other news, Intel is replaced by Nvidia in the Dow Jones, a company that exclusively produces dedicated graphics cards: https://lemmy.world/post/21576540
Historical success/performance of DOW is biased by these strategic decisions to replace losers before their bankruptcy but where decline is obvious.
Nvidia does more than just GPUs.
Nvidia makes both SoCs like the Tegra series and server CPUs (Grace; ARM based to be used with their ML/AI cards with much higher bandwidths than regular CPUs).
Nvidia also just announced that they are working on a consumer desktop CPU.
Well I had the same thought a few years ago when APUs started getting better. But then I'm not the CEO of a huge tech company, so nobody lost their job because I was wrong.
Can you be certain that no company monitors your brain and uses that as their CEO somehow?
I have no confidence in Intel's long-term prospects.
Intel's long term prospects rely on China invading Taiwan.
Intel is a CIA champion. Vector for backdoor spying and kill switches. Why not embed plastic explosives on every motherboard, since US/Trump praised the Israel strategy?
Taiwan declaring independence and offering to host US nuclear missile bases... incoming.
