In retrospect it's easy to see that their choice of integrated memory controller precluded doing a dual die approach. Whether they considered that at the time they did their roadmap will probably never be told.

Making that choice committed them to a core count in one package that could never exceed their ability to integrate on a single die.

Intel exploited that weakness beautifully.
