I wonder if it’s more because they’re hitting capacity limits as result of physical limitations of memory on package design — physical distance resulting in potentially unbalanced performance due to some memory simply doesn’t have physical space that could deliver consistent performance, thus limiting capacity as an idea that crossed my mind.

So less so of a “it’ll be more performant” thing, but “this was great but we have to back paddle because we need more memory than the space could permit” kind of thing?

From the article:

Samsung has informed MacRumors that the original report from The Elec is “completely incorrect” and that the “details are false.” While The Elec has pulled its report entirely, we are leaving our original article intact below for reference to ensure clarity around the situation.

It didn’t pass the sniff test when it was originally published either. The UMA is the largest contributor to the M series’ AI performance. The fact they published it at all is damning.
