I'm waiting for their mac pro with apple silicon to be capped at 16gb of ram! ;)
Newer macs have the ram soldered onto the board.
With Apple Silicon, the RAM is not even on the motherboard. It's integrated into the SoC package!
The Apple M-series CPUs with unified RAM is interesting in this regard. You can get an 16-inch MBP with an M2 Max 96GB of RAM for $4300 today, and I expect the M2 Ultra go to 192GB.
Only because of Apples unified memory architecture. The groundwork is there, we just need memory to be cheaper so we can fit 512+GB now ;)
How about Apple m1 integrated memory ?
Apple M3 supports up to 24GB of RAM so it's not so bad.
Please let the RAM be upgradeable, at least from the apple store...
unless apple has an M1 that can address more than 16GB, this isn't happening.
They're probably referring to the new MacBook Pros with up to 128GB of unified memory.
