You could go quad channel with 66Mhz SDRAM if you had a memory controller that supported it, it remains to be seen if AMD is going to do this as we had seen them do this ears ago with tri channel on Opterons, but they stated that at least with their tech at the time the increased latency resulted at the time not much gain, with HSA capable APUs with upgraded memory controller tech this may have changed.
As to eDRAM, notice that you can't get an Intel chip with it retail? It's crazy expensive for only 128Mb which still doesn't make it much faster then the A10-7850K's GPU, last I checked it was 3x as expensive, at that price point you don't use the IGP, you buy a dedicated card and a cheaper CPU of equivalent performance. Intel wants a king's ransom for every 100Mhz bump.
