Unified 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

		There's LPCAMM2, but it's very recent. The Framework Pro laptop supports it, for example, although only on the Intel variant.

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