The M4 Pro memory is quad channel, so I assume 256 bit.
The two LPCAMMS required for this would require a lot more space.
I give them a pass on memory packaging (but not pricing). SSDs are indefensible though.
Still, they’re about the size of SODIMMs and relatively flat.
It would be iffy for the Max I suppose.
Yeah, I don’t even know what the ostensible excuse is for their SSDs. Keeping the laptop knife thin, I guess?
There’s not much room in the Mac Mini for additional LPCAMM modules, or the MacBook Air.
The SSDs Apple use lack a controller (that’s built into the M series SoC). That drives down Apple’s cost of materials but surely it wouldn’t be that hard to support a standard NVMe M.2 interface?
