Isn't fast on-die/on-package (not sure either) memory access a key factor for Apple's gigantic performance leap, though? With memory pre-soldered on small notebooks for years now, it's not much of a difference for consumers anyway once more than 16GB becomes available.

- epistasis 6y agoI'm not sure that the soldering does much to improve memory access. The anand tech M1 article measures memory latency at more than 90ns [1], which is almost twice what I see for AMD and Intel benchmarks, at 50ns and 70ns [2]. If these are not comparable measurements, I'd love a correction! It seems to me that there's significant room to improve the memory subsystem for Apple Silicon to reach parity with desktop RAM performance.
