CAMM has been around for years now but I’ve never seen a single model using them. Even Framework passed on them with their new desktop.
Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow
tal@lemmy.today 3 days agoI’m not sold that modular desktops are going away in general. SoCs have some benefits in terms of power usage, but those are most-substantial on phones and least-substantial on the desktop.
My understanding is that memory may move away from DIMMs to CAMM2 to permit for higher speeds, but that’s still a modular system.

You don’t need to as long as you’re getting sufficient speeds from non-soldered DIMMs, and desktops are generally still using non-soldered DIMMs.

Yes. That Apple can do these things because their soc is their market deferential. It’s not an over all market direction.
