Why not the PS5? That's when games started streaming assets straight from the NVME SSD to the GPU. In this case the assets are weights.

Just because he mentioned retro gaming.

Otherwise DMA is everywhere.

In the PS5 case since it uses unified memory it's not quite the same as say an GBA streamed from a flash cart to video RAM.
