Unfortunately, Apple’s RAM and Storage upgrade prices are very in line with other class comparable OEMs.

I’m sure there’ll be some amount of undercutting but I don’t think it’ll be a huge difference on the RAM side itself.

Highly depends on how accessible AMD makes these boards, if a lot of OEMs get it there will be good deals for sure. DDR5 prices are nowhere near Apple markups.

The upgrade from 8GB to 16GB cost $200...in 2012!!!!

The newest Lenovo workstations that use LPDDR5x with 7467MT/s gets you a 16GB jump for the price apple charges for an 8GB.

2:1 isn't "class comparable" IMHO.
