But I think MoP will be avoided to keep partners happy, MALL is a thing for good reason, as is CAMM.
There is a third dimension in play.
The easiest option right now would be Medusa Halo keeping the same socket and board support.Large MALL on stacked die would be another option. which could be sufficient until LPDDR6.
But if AMD switched to MoP, and defined a form factor of the mobile package, which would be a black box as far as what memory it uses internally, it could offer potentially even more flexibility to OEMs - to just swap the whole CPU package, without having to do any engineering. / testing / memory procurement.
The easiest option right now would be Medusa Halo keeping the same socket and board support.
Direct upgrade with maybe a bump to -9600 or something.
OEMs like having to do the bare minimum.
For new designs it would be worthwhile, refreshes sticking to 8000 should be good enough.Even a bump to 9600 would need retesting of the board, while no retesting would be needed with MoP.
Somebody has to pay for it, and it isn't AMD.And not just speed. AMD could offer 128, 256, 384, 512 bit internally, any speed internally, can change from LPDDR5 to LPDDR6 internally.
They have their own supply chains that they really like using.It is inconceivable that OEM would prefer to do all this work themselves. The answer would have to be something else:
That is Apple, they can get away with things nobody else can.OEMs like to rape the customers on memory upgrades. As example as that. Look at Mac Mini base model and models with higher memory capacities.
It also opens a pathway to wider buses in still reasonable form-factors.MoP has nearly zero effect on battery life or RAM speed, you primarily do it to save board space.
Not really a mistake, just pricey and niche.Intel made a mistake using MoP for Lunar Lake.

The leather jacket 🤣
They're applying pre-emptive fake MSRP question marks.Didn't nVidia say 3 grand?
I love this company. Probably the only company I could say that about unconditionally
no, mac mini starts lower.does this dumpster the mac mini market?
i know the tiles are just vent grilles but i would have loved if they had the option to use the rgb side spacer panels from the framework 16.Framework Desktops with Ryzen AI Max SoCs [Goes up to the full 120W TDP]

Shipping Q3
It’s kinda breaks the 64GB Mac mini M4 Pro market that’s costs $1999, you get 128GB with framework.no, mac mini starts lower.
This is Mac Studio comp (sams as the HP bawks).
oh yeah I forgot that thing exists.It’s kinda breaks the 64GB Mac mini M4 Pro market that’s costs $1999, you get 128GB with framework.
