Apparently AMD wasn't able to make socketed RAM work, timings aren't viable. So Framework has the choice of doing it this way or not doing it at all.

    In that case, not at all is the right choice until AMD can figure out that frankly brain dead easy thing.

    "brain dead easy thing"... All you need is to just manage signal integrity of super fast speed ram to a super hungry state of the art soc that benefits from as fast of memory as it can get. Sounds easy af. /s

    They said that it was possible, but they lost over half of the speed doing it, so it was not worth it. It would severely cripple performance of the SOC.

    The only real complaint here is calling this a desktop, it's somewhere in between a NUC and a real desktop. But I guess it technically sits on a desk top, while also being an itx motherboard.
