With old style DIMMs I can understand this excuse, with LPCAMM though, it doesn't fly.

Yes it does. LPCAMM path is still dozens of millimeters. Soldered on is one mm or less.
Yep. Even the framework seems to be moving to soldered on ram.
If you mean the desktop, there must have been something wrong with that AMD chip. Existing designs with LPCAMM are just as fast.
Yeah, I got downvoted but the people arguing against have no idea of the speeds of the standards. LPCAMM2 offers the same exact speeds as LPDDR5x. It is dumb as a consumer to just accept soldering as an excuse from tech companies.
