Stratix 10MX on-chip memory?

Hello, I was looking at the Stratix 10 MX overview page https://www.altera.com/products/sip/memory/stratix-10-mx/overview.html?utm_source=altera&utm_medium=homepage_ad&utm_campaign=stratix+10...

The key part is "DRAM System-in-Package". They've basically included the hybrid memory into the package itself - see this picture: https://simplecore.intel.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2017/12/intel-stratix-10-internalworkings.jpg. They are physically discrete memory chips, but they are physically attached to the interposer PCB that breaks out the pins of the FPGA. So when you receive the fully packaged FPGA, the memory is in the same package under the heat spreader.
