He made a mistake; it has 3MB of L2 cache. The eDRAM bank is 32MB, and both the CPU and GPU can access it. |
It's not a mistake. Look at my link again. IBM has NOTHING to do with the manufacturing of eDRAM in the GPU die. The L2 Cache of Espresso is actual eDRAM, albeit, from IBM. The eDRAM from the GPU die is from Renesas, where the MCM was manufactured.

IBM said: IBM's unique embedded DRAM, for example, is capable of feeding the multi-core processor large chunks of data to make for a smooth entertainment experience |

You're kidding me right ? It's almost the same as the ibm broadway sure there are developers like 4A games who have never touched it before but that's nintendo's fault for not getting alot of 3rd parties earlier. |
Being based off Broadway means nothing if it performs much beter than expected. Again, referring to the matmul SIMD test where it confortably sits around modern processors on pure SIMD code, something it doesn't really have.
