Intel Razor Lake-AX Chips Could Use On-Package Memory: Rumor
A new rumor has appeared online regarding a portion of Intel's next-next-generation chips, the Razor Lake-AX. The Nova Lake successor and desktop chip line may use on-package memory, according to VideoCardz. The rumor doesn't confirm the memory type (e.g., LPDDR5X) or bandwidth, but it does raise some interesting questions about the direction Intel is taking with its future CPU designs.
Intel has played around with memory placement before. The brand's Lunar Lake Core Ultra 200V series of mobile CPUs used on-package memory, with Intel ultimately saying the design didn't make sense for cost and margins, nor for roadmap simplification. But now, according to X leaker Haze2k1, Intel is reportedly reconsidering the idea for Razor Lake. Since that's considered a desktop lineup, however, it could make for a radical redesign of how Intel's flagship CPUs are built.
