The second trash comment from the troll at 0:43 is not from me. Don't you feel the difference between my comments and the comments of idiots masquerading as me? It is sad...
I have nothing more to add to what I have already written - these modules are an oligopolistic conspiracy to eliminate competition in the market and raise prices significantly. That's what happened. These modules do not provide the consumer with any technical advantages that justify this price level, but he will be forced to buy only such models, because There will soon simply be no other options left due to oligopolistic collusion. It is necessary to distinguish between real technical progress and greedy hidden collusions of producers. I don't see any real progress or step forward in them. If there was a doubling of the bandwidth, that is, at least a 256-bit memory controller even in the lowest-level module, that would be progress. But this is not the case.
They are not some oligarch conspiracy to bring up prices, CAMM was originally made by Dell who has nothing to do with the memory business. It was given to JEDEC as a standard and adopted into CAMM2
CAMM2 allows 128bit per module compared to 64bit for SODIMM
And again, the biggest advantage of this is that there is no excuse to solder ram anymore. What do you think carries a bigger premium, buying soldered ram from the manufacturer, or purchasing ram from a 3rd party retailer and reusing ram from older computers? I'll take the CAMM2 over soldered any day
Prices will drop by the day as more start producing them in bulk
PS your BOM idea will never work, because companies will just make shell companies that bill them higher manufacturing costs and it will show up as "services" in their income statement.
