Hope they ad 24/48GB sticks, and maybe down the road 96GB. 24 could be a good spot for budget concious folks and 48 for more power users.

I want to see this in more laptops and mini-PCs.
I would also like to see this on mITX mobos.

Why wouldn't this tech be used in desktops? Especially since CPUs and GPUs are requiring ever-increasing power. Would saving power on ram and maybe m.2 SSDs make a difference? Instead of a 1200w psu you'd only need a 1000w? Something like that?

The reason why LPCAMM exists is not to reduce power draw but to reduce trace length and boost signal integrity allowing them to operate at higher frequencies. The reduction in power draw is essentially just a benefit of reduced trace length, when it comes to gpus the memory trace length is even shorter than camm, instead of using that boost to signal integrity to reduce power draw they use it to boost memory clocks. M.2 drives get power externally ( power is dealt with on the ssd rather than on the cpu/chipset ) instead of over traces so that isn't an option there, but in theory you could do that with standard dimms but it's more likely they'd keep power the same and just boost clocks like with gpus.
