Yeah I heard from forethought14's last post but it only has 3mb of eDRAM.

He made a mistake; it has 3MB of L2 cache. The eDRAM bank is 32MB, and both the CPU and GPU can access it.

But the GPU can access it better because it's integrated on to the die.

It's still useful for CPU tasks though. An an older interview, Shin'en talked about how they used the eDRAM for "fast scratch memory for some CPU intense work."
