With the continued evolution of chiplets, I’m annually shocked we don’t have DDR5 built directly into the processors same wafer.

The yield is maybe a factor, but that is solved with experience. Why is no company even trying?

Is it an IP issue? I seriously don’t understand (especially for phones) why it is still optimal to keep RAM separate.

Could someone help me understand this?

and I’d really appreciate leaving “upgradability” out of this conversation. That is a separate topic that can be had but not interesting to me right now.
