Dale,

Imagine the potential of a Sledgehammer with 16MB of embedded DRAM

On the die itself? If (when) we get to the point that you could have 16MB on the same die as the processor, why not make it SRAM L2? How many transistor do you need for DRAM cell vs. SRAM?

Embedding DRAm on chipset has advantages for a traditional processor, but what happens if a processor has an on-die Northbridge?
