I remember taking VLSI design as part of my Comp. Sci. degree at Bristol, UK c.1980, using the Conway & Mead book, and "Commingling of Processing and Memory" was mentioned even back then.

Obviously you (eventually) need your data where the compute is, especially in a non-von-Neumann architecture where moving data around isn't an option even if you were OK with the performance drop.

It seems kinda obvious that eventually AI will be implemented as low power dataflow custom chips integrating memory/state & compute, but who knows!
