> There's nothing about a unified memory architecture that requires the GPU and CPU to be on the same die, let alone requires the RAM to be in the same package
No, but unified memory does require starving the GPU of bandwidth. There's a reason high end GPUs use different types of memory than CPUs.
Either Apple will be content with Mac Pro not having the absolute graphics performance lead, or they will make a discrete GPU with dedicated memory. I'm not sure which they will choose but I suspect the latter.
