> Question: are SoCs with on die memory be effected by this?

SoCs with on-die memory (which is, these days, exclusively SRAM, since I don't think IBM's eDRAM process for mixing DRAM with logic is still in production) will not be effected. SiPs with on-package DRAM, including Apple's A and M series SiPs and Qualcomm's Snapdragon, will be effected -- they use the same DRAM dice as everyone else.





The aforementioned Ryzen AI chip is exactly what you describe, with 128 GB on-package LPDDR5X. I have two of them.

To answer the original question: the Framework Desktop is indeed still at the (pretty inflated) price, but for example the Bosgame mini PC with the same chip has gone up in price.


Are your two chips in Framework Desktops, or some other package? I'm interested in a unified memory setup and curious about the options.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/die#Noun

"dice" is the plural for the object used as a source of randomness, but "dies" is the plural for other noun uses of "die".


*affected

Nah, people are affected, price is effected.

It's funky, I get it wrong all the time. Effect and Affect both have noun and verb uses.


“To effect x” means “to bring about x”. It’s an action that brings x into existence or causes x to happen. “To affect x” means “to impact x” or “to bear on x”. It’s an action that has an effect [sic] on an existing x.

Clearly, “affected” is meant above (SoCs with on-die memory are not impacted); “effected” doesn’t make sense in the context (SoCs with on-die memory are not brought about). Prices can be affected just as well as people.
