When I’ve seen this come up before, I think the AI Max needs soldered RAM due to latency that socketed RAM introduces. There were some older post where an AMD engineer even hopped in saying they tested but it had a big impact on performance.
Soldered RAM is really faster then socketed RAM?
I can’t really see why, when only looking at the connection level.
But soldered RAM also means, they only need to support exactly this RAM.
So they can leave out some stuff handing different speeds and can optimise for exactly this RAM.
Is that the reason?
I’ve actually never thought about that until now…

First time in hearing this, so thank you!
