Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC (arstechnica.com)

Apparently Framework did try to get AMD to use LPCAMM, but it just didn't work from a signal integrity standpoint at the kind of speeds they need to run the memory at.

Sounds like it doesn't bode well for the future of DIMMs at all, TBH.

You have a DIMM view of the future.

My AM5 system doesn't post with 128GB of 5600 DDR5 at higher than 4400 at JEDEC timings and voltage. 2 DIMMs are fine. 4 DIMMs... rip. So I'd say the present of DIMMs is already a bit shaky. DIMMs are great for lots of cheap RAM. I paid a lot less than what I'd have to pay for the equivalent size of RAM in a Framework desktop.
