      Integrating CPU/GPU/RAM on the same chip just leads to crazy increases in performance and efficiency. As usual Apple paves the path to erosion of consumer choice.

      CUDIMM is the socket-able answer to this and it’s rolling out. What’s the excuse for soldering SSDs?

      but it can also be disabled with some simple terminal commands.

      For now, Apple’s not stupid, they know if they move too fast they’ll piss off too many people so they’re doing it slowly step by step.

          Rolling out where? As far as I know it’s only ever been installed and sold in a single device. Can’t tell ya why but it is.

          We’re only about 4 months in ATM, it’s quite early

          Nonetheless, it’s technically sound so even if it does flop, it will have been for primarily greed reasons rather than because soldering was superior
