i'm already tired of people losing their minds over the soldered ram, as if it was in framework's control or that socketed ram could even compare to this... modular ram at this spec is coming but it isn't ready for this generation of chips. if you don't have a need for the insane vram just don't buy it, or get the case and build your own standard ITX system. no one else is providing this chipset to desktop users or running at its full tdp and framework made it available, i cannot find the problem.
For real. People are assuming LPDDR5x is the same as DDR5. You cannot get the speeds of LPDDR5x without the memory being as close to the compute as physically possible.
I don't think people are assuming that. People where assuming that Framework only made tech where repairablity was going to be the main focus because that's how Framework presented themselves. So if Framework wants to branch out to tech that's not strictly repairability focused it'll take time for consumers to adjust their expectations of Framework.
Its like when Ferrari puts out a $200 T-shirt, people will be like "stick to cars Ferrari lol". But, turns out Ferrari actualy makes almost half their money selling keychain and $200 T-shirts.
