Why can't they just make it 12gb? It will sell far easier. It's all soldered on anyway.

The point is: 8GB of RAM is really, really cheap. Like $20 retail.

It probably has a 128 bit buswidth. You need 32 bit per memory chip, so you end up with 4 chips.

3 GB ram chips probably exist, but are definitely not common.
