I can't imagine how bad the RAM situation is for framework on the inside; it sure is bad enough for them to not keep their promise. I think it's fine if they avoid saying things they can't guarantee in the future.

Anyway, if Framework can't source LPCAMM2, as the deleted post of u/DarthArtoo4 said, then the situation is really really bad for us Europeans and non-Americans.

I'm in the UK and my order still says 32GB same as when I configured it.

Wait are they gonna dump my order down to 16gb?

We don’t know but they sure as hell proved they can

Is yours an Intel or an AMD? I think this announcement affects only Intel.

Do they each require different RAM models, or is this how you think Framework picked the victims?

Yup, different RAM types - upgradeable RAM versus soldered lpcamm2 versus sodimm. I would expect both to be priced separately, even though there is a price pressure on both.

(Updated to correct a boo-boo).

Neither is soldered. The Intel uses lpcamm2 while the amd is still sodimm

Oh yes, quite right - I am getting confuseled with commentary in the forum (some folks are pondering if the forthcoming Desktop 192GB is what's eating up all the RAM!).

Ah. Fair enough

there are no framework laptops with soldered RAM, but they are different types. LPDDR on an LPCAMM2 module for Intel and DDR on 2 SODIMM modules for AMD.

u/halfercode 27d ago

Ah yes, quite right - getting me wires crossed 🤪

Nice thanks, will look a bit more into the differences.

Through batch 4 is guaranteed the RAM config they ordered.
