2019 16" maxed out at 64GB, which is the same as the M1 Max.

They specifically mentioned the speed. DDR4 is used in 99% of PCs right now. Apple can use faster memory on the die directly.

Ah true, there might be a bit of crossed wires here. It seems like @mizzack was using "bumped up" to mean the amount of RAM, while @Alex3917 used the same phrase but this time to mean LPDDR5/speed, but obviously I interpreted the latter as amount (because that was the context).

I was also talking about the amount of RAM. The reason they didn't allow people to increase the RAM at all for a couple years as because of the power consumption. After people freaked out they eventually added an option, but kind of discouraged it. I had forgotten that they even added that option though.
