> Devil's advocate: RAM on SOCs is not upgradable due to technical limitations on frequency and latency needing the RAM chips to be as close as possible to the CPU. You can't beat physics.

What about LPCAMM2? https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/7/24151369/lpcamm2-laptop-me...



That just came out, let's see if it goes anywhere and if they keep pushing it in other products, or if it's just a marketing exercise for one product, but I'm skeptical its here to stay.

I also remember how upgradable GPUs in laptops using MMX slots were pushed by Dell and a couple of others a few times 10-15 years ago, but abandoned each time.

I hope this catches on though, but like I said, I'm skeptical.


That's still several times farther from the CPU than a memory die placed directly on top of it.
