I hope this pushes other platforms to provide some more memory channels, could be tricky for AMD due to them wanting to commit to AM5 and I'm not sure if you can retrofit it.
Through then most consumer applications don't necessary need/profit much from the wider memory bandwidth as more bandwidth is harder to use then faster memory speed.
And more channels in a "motherboard not on-die" setup is much more costly for everyone (motherboards + CPUs + end user) then for on die. So maybe new CPUs with some on-die memory with their own channels + 2 classical channels is more likely. But then more on-die L3 or L4 cache (e.g. X3D) is probably more useful then on-die RAM. Hm, it's fun how in some way apples CPUs mismatch most of the consumer marked, but then Apple PRO models don't sell to most of the consumer marked.
