LPDDR is in "mobile computers"

 

So smartphones and the like.

 

I was talking about LPDDR4X, LPDDR is very common but I've never seen anything with LPDDR4X specifically.

I'm taking about LPDDR generally. LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X is in just about any high end smartphone released since 2017 or so. Course it depends on when development was started tho.

I resemble this FX comment!

 

And smart on Gigabyte, there will be a market for that, and they will make money.  For the exact reasons you specified.  To the pleb they wont understand the issues they are creating with current gen tech marrying old gen tech.  They will only see money saved (I used to be this way prior to being what I consider a techy).

I think they should do this just see just how much it actually throttles.

This would be my curiousity as well.  Is the throttle vs price ratio as bad as the price vs performance ratio.  If you lose 20% but spend 50% less you still have a CPU you can keep in useage for a long while, with a cheaper (in the future) motherboard and RAM upgrade.  I bought DDR4 when it was expensive.  For 1 stick of 8gb DDR you can get 16gb today.

Which devices have LPDDR4X? Reminder, that was the only one I was talking about in the context of never heard of it before nor seen it in anything.

 

I'm not surprised I hadn't, Micron only just started mass production in Nov 2018.

users: I'm stranded here with my Phenom X4 from 2008 can't upgrade to anything newer because of ram prices, wish I could use my current RAM with a newer CPU

Gigabyte: hold my beer MSI

 

funny how everyone above is just bashing the board and Gigabyte, none of y'all know what is to live in a third world country, DDR4 is almost impossible to buy (take whatever the price is in the US, add 100% more of profit for the seller plus 50% more on taxes and 35% on import tariffs and you get the price)

this board might be a savior for all of those folks who can afford it and a CPU and keep their current DDR3 memory sticks, it's anything but a wonder of engineering that they could make DDR3 compatible with the coffee lake architectures, just impressive Gigabyte.
