- zeroth32 4y agomore compact chips will have a higher failure rate. Not a great idea for servers.
- to11mtm 4y agoThere's a fun curve on this to be sure. If I had to guess, Servers would not go any further than some sort of memory-backplane where the memory for multiple channels was integrated onto a single PCB. Even then, IIRC hot-swapping of memory modules is a thing for some servers, so that will have to be handled somehow.

- deelowe 4y agoSort of. Trace length is already a nightmare.
