So roughly a 12% performance loss using LPCAMM2 vs soldered to the motherboard. Reasonable tradeoff, I guess, for future expansion. How much extra is the cost

  > So roughly a 12% performance loss using LPCAMM2 vs soldered to the motherboard. If you're getting that from the fact that these modules run at ~7500MT/s while there are BGA packages rated for 8500 MT/s: the limitation is not from the LPCAMM2 connector, but from the fact that Intel and AMD don't have memory controllers capable of going beyond 7500MT/s yet. The 8500MT/s memory is being used for smartphones that can hit those speeds, and it would be a waste to put the faster memory on LPCAMM2 modules right now. They're planning to eventually reach 9600MT/s with LPCAMM2, but don't expect to see those modules on the market when there's literally zero demand for them at those higher speeds.
