It would be connected via Infinity Fabric, just like Epyc CPUs in dual-socket boards, as well as the interconnect between CPU and GPU chiplets in APUs, already are. Why would that be bad?
I’m not too well-versed with server-grade hardware but my concern is that it would end up somewhat like Intel’s (consumer) CPU sockets: Changing every 2 years to ensure you need to purchase new motherboards when upgrading.
We’ll soon be plugging the motherboard into the GPU instead of the other way around.
Entirely new form factors to accommodate the ever increasingly large GPUs.
I’ve been surprised at the lack of socketed GPUs ever since AMD and ATI merged.
I would love to have dual-socket motherboard with an Epyc in one socket and a Radeon in the other.
The issue with that design is that the PCIe standard would be replaced with something proprietary.

Meanwhile, my PC is smaller than it’s ever been even with the largest GPU I’ve ever owned.
This statement is true for everyone who bought their first PC this year.
