They will still communicate outside of the chip through the RAM anyway, which in a lot of cases is a bottleneck for APUs because CPU and GPU have to share it instead of each having their own. 

Not exactly, both the CPU and GPU have cache coherent shared virtual memory in the case of consoles so they are not exactly forced to only communicate through the main memory ...
