So why not have the best of both worlds and remove the latency overhead when moving to cache?

There's a reason WHY we aren't using GDDR5 as CPU memory in PC architecture. Use your head.

Let me guess: you did not understand what I wrote and you don't understand why there is memory latency anytime, anywhere. The three key reasons why we never had gddr5 as main memory in the pc world are (by order of importance): price, price and price.
