I´ve seem some GPUs where the VRAM where much closer to the main chip. I don´t know if they were DDR3 though. Don´t now either what limits they came closer, probally the TDP.

I think they have space to put a little longer and it helps with heat... other point is there is a chip in each side of the board... 16x chips.

The distance is just an optimisation considering -All the lines that connect the chips (there are 170 pins on each gddr5 chip!), -Heat dissipation as far away as possible from the apu, -More noise as you get away from the apu, etc

I get around 19mm*19mm for the chip carrier. Guessing 1mm "safety margin", that gives a die size of <=290mm^2
