Look up Broadwell. It had a 4th level cache that was blazing fast before the memory controller.

I wouldn't say the 50GB/s duplex were "blazing fast" for a last level cache, especially compared to AMD's Infinity Cache reaching 2TB/s on Navi 21. The small discrete GPUs with 128bit GDDR5 at the time started at 72GB/s.
The Zen+ APUs with a Vega iGPU and DDR4 3200 (~51.2GB/s dual-channel) would easily pass over it.
It still made wonders for the longevity of that chip at the time but it was adequate for the iGPU, it's not like it was over-engineered.
