Trying not to get too off topic here but:

I'm not a processor engineer or anything like that, but I don't know if unified RAM can be separate from the SOC design. To achieve the speed and access from both the CPU cores and GPU cores, it uses a super fast bus on the SOC package. Apple seems to like to control their hardware components as demonstrated by soldering in the RAM and SSD's on the previous Intel-based system (not all but most). I hope I'm wrong and RAM and SSD's can be user upgraded on the upcoming Apple Silicon Mac Pro.
