>AMD's recent migration toward multiple chiplets on the CPU package has not changed the direct connection between DRAM and the CPU socket

This is true. However with the MCH off-chip and worst case inter core latency comparable a DRAM refresh cycle, AMD could in theory move the MCH away from the socket and see no major performance penalty.

Not to mention the Zen 2 IO die is just a cut-down version of X570, or maybe it is the other way around heh?
