alt Hacker NewsUnified RAM means its soldered to the mainboard, right?
I'm not sure if I like this. Sure for a laptop this might be not a big problem but if this ARM ecosystem is a success it will spread to desktop computers and I fear we could lose the existing modularity.

"Unified" means that it's shared between CPU and GPU, I believe.
But yes, it tends to be soldered on.

No, but LPDDR means soldered, there are no LPDDR dimms

I think unified RAM means soldered to the SoC, which is in turn soldered to the mainboard
