Intel actually already tried that before back then on Lunar Lake, with for example Core Ultra 200V which comes with 2 LPDDR5X dies integrated directly into the CPU package, which back then allowed for up to 32GB of onboard RAM capacity. This was intended for ultra-portable devices like x86 tablets and embedded systems where the motherboard needs to be as small as possible, and the specific CPU model had a corresponding power and performance envelope for that use case. For that kind of devices this actually made sense.

Back in 2024 before the AI industry drove up the prices, Intel concluded that this wasn’t worth it because Intel had to purchase those RAM dies at a higher unit price than OEMs who specifically make RAM sticks and thus order RAM chips at much higher volume, in order to package onto their CPU packages themselves.

Guess they are changing their mind and bringing that back, for a completely different reasoning lol

Pretty much, unfortunately for them it doesn’t seem like they are staying much relevant at all despite of all the shilling, only actively sabotaging their credibility, a foundation of their relevance in the past, even more lol

That’s XDA these days, how far they have fallen lol
