ESRAM is actually the bottleneck itself BECAUSE,

without Esram, and all that space it takes, they could have put GDDR5 there instead, and even put extra Compute Units. 4 GB DDR3 + 4 GB GDDR5 + additional CUs would definitely be a much better choice. But the very existence of a Esram creates a bottleneck.

So yes, Esram is there to alleviate the bottleneck created by DDR3 but because it's in a tiny capacity, so huge, not fast enough, and cripples the GPU, IT IS THE BOTTLENECK.
