To anyone interested, apparently mobile Intel processors aren’t supporting LPDDR4 (newer spec for low-power RAM) still, so the tradeoff is 16GB LPDDR3, or 32+ of desktop DDR4, with associated power-hungry controller. Cannon Lake will finally support LP4, late this year. Ugh.https://twitter.com/mrasmus/status/998994464793219072 …
I doubt they can pull off some weird trick. RAM is what it is, and also, it's getting increasingly batshit insane. LPDDR4 requires *periodic runtime retraining* and *temperature monitoring* to even be stable at full speed. Memory standards and controllers are crazy these days.
