- okanat 8mo agoWith old style DIMMs I can understand this excuse, with LPCAMM though, it doesn't fly.
- dmitrygr 8mo agoYes it does. LPCAMM path is still dozens of millimeters. Soldered on is one mm or less.
- josephg 8mo agoYep. Even the framework seems to be moving to soldered on ram.
- Dylan16807 8mo agoIf you mean the desktop, there must have been something wrong with that AMD chip. Existing designs with LPCAMM are just as fast.
- okanat 8mo agoYeah, I got downvoted but the people arguing against have no idea of the speeds of the standards. LPCAMM2 offers the same exact speeds as LPDDR5x. It is dumb as a consumer to just accept soldering as an excuse from tech companies.
