Are there GPUs with more than 16 lanes of PCIe?
One 3.2 GHz QPI link might have comparable bandwidth to 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0 (6.4 GT/s * 20 lanes vs. 8 GT/s * 16), the higher-end Intel processors have more than one QPI link.
I assume you call "global" the what Aaron Spink calls "local", perhaps using the the OpenCL terminology of global memory and local memory. Aaron Spink comes from a CPU/NUMA system background (IIRC he worked on Alpha EV7 coherence) where global memory refers to the entire system memory and local memory refers to the memory attached directly to a single node.
