    I still don’t understand, why this is seemingly no problem in any other application.

    Desktops, servers and even some chonkier laptops manage to work with regular (SO)DIMMs just fine.

      I’m guessing regular non-LP DDR works fine socketed in desktops because power is nearly a non-issue. Need to burn a few watts to guarantee signal integrity? We’ve got a chonky PSU, so no problem. On mobile devices however every watt matters…

        Plus the smaller chips (like the CPU) are designed for lower voltage and current. They can’t handle dialing up the power, they’ll melt.
