This is a clickbait headline.
In short:
RAM sticks aren't dying anytime soon, but DDR6/LPDDR modules may come in CAMM(2) formats for faster data transfer rates. It's still chips on a module, just with shorter traces to the CPU due to the orientation.
Also, given RAM shortage and the fact that DDR6 isn't anywhere near consumer availability, this will take a while, probably at least until mid-2028 for any kind of wide adoption. And it's likely that DDR6 will also still be available as sticks, at least in the budget/lower speed sector?
