Yeah, there is no way they’re gonna put 1TB of RAM on a CPU die anytime soon.
Does that mean that consumer hardware will include expandable RAM though? I feel like for the average person, that option still has a very high chance of disappearing on a lot of machines.
Oh yeah, a very high chance of disappearing. The unfortunate reality is probably 80% of people never upgrade their laptops or desktops. Building and maintaining your own PC has become more en vogue in recent years, but the vast majority of average consumers just don’t take part in the practice. Thus, it will not be prioritized by the industry. Why spend money on making your machines upgrade-able if the majority of users don’t ever take advantage of the feature?
I don’t like why it will happen, but I understand the economics of it.
Bro, it’s way higher than 80%.
I think most people don’t know the difference between “on-die” and “on-package”. This may be what they mean: https://beebom.com/intel-meteor-lake-cpu-on-chip-ram/
