Introducing the new Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1 processors

Most benchmarks I’ve seen show DDR5 at around 90-100 ns latency and LPDDR5X-7500 at around 110-130 ns with the AMD 7040/8040 series memory controller.

Here are several examples that I picked randomly (well the Framework laptops were deliberate) from the NotebookCheck website (to the best of my knowledge all the devices listed here have the same AMD memory controller):

SODIMM also has the advantage of 2 slots being typical (vs 1 with LPCAMM). That opens up the flexibility to only fill one slot initially and fill the other later (not great for dual channel reasons, but DDR5-5600 is fast enough to not bottleneck a CPU too badly so it is reasonable to do in systems with a dGPU).
