Hardwired memory-compute locality

The only key hardwired architectural feature is tight memory-compute locality—specifically, affinity between HBM and compute cores—to improve performance, power efficiency, and reduce data movement.

These are individual perspectives, not a measure of consensus. Source material stays in its original language.
