Probably would have been better sticking with Skylake and throwing a big chunk of eDRAM at the problem.

I had a similar idea, just increase the size of the L2/L3 caches and Rocket Lake would probably have been beaten with less.

Indeed, that is another approach, but still would require some investment in optimizing the chips layout.

eDRAM could have been off-chip but same package and built at a less congested 22nm node, so 14nm chip supplies wouldn't be impacted.
The eDRAM essentially functions as an L4 cache when the iGPU isn't using it.
