One would assume there would be 1MB parts at the high-end at least. You do know that AMD's clock per power is going up all the time, here's a clue, in Isscc 2006 AMD are presenting a paper on a 95W 2.6 GHz dual-core demonstrating pacifica which means it almost certainly already exists in silicon.

A microprocessor featuring 2 Hammer cores and an on-chip DDR2 memory controller implements Pacifica architectural support for virtualization. It is fabricated in a 90nm triple-Vt partially-depleted SOI process with 9 layers of
copper interconnect. The chip achieves a clock frequency of 2.6GHz at 1.35V while dissipating 95W.

Triple-Vt sounds like different voltage planes to me too which would be a whole new ballgame at lower clock levels.
