In <discrete GPUs>, <VRAM> is <RAM> memory that lives on the <GPU>'s <PCB>.
They are located in separate chips to the GPU's compute, since just like for <CPUs>, you can't put both on the same <chip> as the manufacturing processes are different and incompatible.
<Integrated GPUs> don't have <VRAM> and just instead use the same <RAM> as the <CPU>.
