| I suppose it's interesting to think about. At today's clock rates, the distance between the CPU and RAM actually adds a small, but still significant delay. |

| It's ultimately what killed having a memory controller on the northbridge of a motherboard. Having the CPU talk to a separate chip to ultimately talk to the RAM simply added too much latency into the entire process. |

| ▲ | cogman10 a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I really hope CAMM2 takes off. It'd be a rare standard that could be used for both laptops and desktops. Having upgradable memory in a laptop again would be great. Using the same standard a desktop would make it easy to find sticks as time goes on. | |
