You can fit exactly zero of these in the MacBook Pro until Intel ships chips that actually support LPDDR4X (aside from the Cannonlake paper launch).

- Milner08 8y agoOr Apple switch them to the A series processors! Although I really cannot see that happening on the pro lineup anytime soon (Although I think its highly likely on the air and non-pro MacBooks)
- hmottestad 8y agoI read somewhere that it wouldn't actually help at the moment. LPDDR4 on the A series chips is in the same package as the CPU. From what I understand, this is the only current way that anyone in the industry is using LPDDR4. What Intel is promising is LPDDR4 packaged in it's own chip(s) on the motherboard.
- frou_dh 8y agoIn the iPads, the RAM is not stacked onto the CPU, it's normal separate chips. e.g. two Micron here: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/WHKDR5ZU6SSQA3qa https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/WHKDR5ZU6SSQA3qa
- hmottestad 8y agoHad to double check that....but you're correct. So now I'm really hoping for a AX macbook pro. Imagine what the A12X in the newest ipad could push if you added some nice cooling to it ;)

- yuhong 8y agoSo I wonder if Micron will support 16Gbit LPDDR4X chips by the time Intel launches its 10nm chips.
- hmottestad 8y agothey have 16 Gbit LPDDR4 from what I know
- yuhong 8y agoI am talking about the capacity of the individual die BTW.
