Is it? I thought only memory controller is in the chip, not the memory itself.

The M1's RAM is integrated into the SoC package. But it's still separate RAM chips, not actually on the same die as the M1.

Mmm... it's certainly better than they had before. But really they ought to be designing repairable machines. If that makes them a little slower then so be it.
