Upgradable vram would be huge.

just move to unified vram like console would be best.

Isn't double-digit nanosecond latency just microsecond latency?
Edit: I have learned thanks to helpful commenters that quadruple digit nanosecond is microseconds

Quadruple digit nanosecond latency is microseconds

100 nano seconds is 0.1 micro seconds, so not quite.
I imagine double digit is 99 ns or less
