    he RAM/VRAM divide is kind of a legacy thing at this point, doing more harm than good in the x86

    That has nothing to do with x86 though…

      Hence “x86 (desktop OS) space”. It’s not intrinsically part of x86, but it has settled in as a conventional piece of x86 desktop OSes. x86 consoles and ARM desktops don’t assume the same principle, and they can get a lot more mileage out of SoCs as a result.
