IIRC modern Apple devices integrate the memory into the whole SoC instead of making it separate on the board and replaceable. It's definitely not swappable like a DIMM or CAMM module would be. Can't find a photo of a decapped M4 chip to prove it, though...
- MadnessASAP 4mo agoIts not integrated to the SoC, it is soldered to the mainboard though.
- theshackleford 4mo agoThe memory is not integrated into the SoC die itself, but it is packaged alongside the SoC rather than being separately mounted.
- esperent 4mo agoAt Apple scale I would have thought that makes it cheaper, not more expensive.
- theshackleford 4mo agoI wouldn’t know honestly, it’s not one of my “special” areas of interest so I lack the knowledge haha. I’m just mates with a dude who’s been an Apple hardware engineer for a long time.
