SSD in Macbook Pro is crazy fast. So fast that finally, after many years, we can think about "replacing" RAM with it.

LPDDR3 RAM speed = 17 GB/sec, SSD read - 3 GB/sec. As much as it sounds crazy, i believe, SSD will eventually replace big and inefficient RAM's (which consume 6 W of power for each 16 GB slot)
