    soldered memory will probably become more and more common

    at least if you want to extract every bit of performance.

    Patel noted on LTT that they tried to get modular ram on there, but it’s just not possible. The signal integrity is not holding up

      but it’s just not possible

      I mean it’s probably “not possible” to convince AMD to engineer it for the few of us that actually care. There are other comparable socketable technologies.

      The thing is that companies will want to extract more performance, so customers may eventually lose the option. I hope not, but I do see it as a possibility.
