Does it have, say, power saving modes at idle like DDR5 does? And coming iterations of HBM seem to be cranking up the clock rate

- dragontamer 3y agoI don't think DDR5 is known for any good power-saving modes (certainly not like LPDDR5, if that's what you were trying to reference?). I'd assume HBM is closer to DDR5 or GDDR6 than LPDDR5, but honestly I don't know. In any case, I don't personally consider DDR5 to be very memory-saving. ------ LPDDR5 on Apple Chips has a substantial power advantage. But like HBM, LPDDR5 cannot be socketed or expanded like DDR5 can be. LPDDR5 gets its assurances from either stacking on top of the die (like in Apple products), or by directly-soldering to the motherboard. -------- The technical discussion here is about the socket. Should computers have a socket for RAM? Sockets require more power due to the lower-quality connection, but they allow for far more expansion and customization of the overall computer.
