What I find amusing about moving compute to a RAM bank is it _almost_ resembles where we were with ISA-based extended RAM back in the 1980's. Some cards featured a CPU that took over the whole system and/or functioned like an upgrade. Others were a "computer on a card" that provided other features. I think this goes to show how cyclic tech can be. So, something like Samsung's invention here might have gained traction, as overcoming the slow PC ISA bus would have been a huge accelerator, kind of like where we are now.

Maybe we can connect multiple Samsung RAM sticks to a grid and call it RAMsputer.
