   Intel Abandons Non-Upgradeable RAM

   Apple’s ARM-based machines get a lot of their performance boost from   
   tightly integrating the CPU and RAM package, to the point where the   
   RAM is no longer upgradeable.   
      
   Intel tried to do the same thing with its “Lunar Lake” laptop chips.   
   Now it says that was a mistake, and the next generation of laptop   
   chips will go back to having upgradeable RAM again.   
      
   Some have tried to claim that Apple’s monolithic approach is the way   
   forward, that other vendors were bound to copy it. But I always saw it   
   as an evolutionary dead end.
