Oh I didn’t mean “should cost $4000” just “would cost $4000”. I wish that the vram on video cards was modular, there’s so much ewaste generated by these bottlenecks.

Ah, yeah. Absolutely. The situation sucks though.

Not possible, the speeds are so high that GDDR physically has to be soldered. Future CPUs will be that way too, unfortunately. SO-DIMMs have already topped out at 5600, with tons of wasted power/voltage, and I believe desktop DIMMs are bumping against their limits too.
But look into CAMM modules and LPCAMMS. My hope is that we will get modular LPDDR5X-8533 on AMD Strix Halo boards.
