what do you think are the move engines in combination with eSRAM and DDR3 good for then? of course eSRAM is going to be used like a GPU cache. its not SRAM for nothing. i mean, we can of course discuss now if it has to be called a cache or like the name says, embeded static ram. if i call it a programmable gpu cache, i am not too far off.

Edit:
