Quick question about LPDDR5X speeds on handhelds sharing the same hardware (specifically looking at the 48GB versions, since the 64 version which costs 300 euros more does not suffer from this).

The Apex runs its RAM at 8000 MT/s, but the X2 Mini Pro caps it at 7467 MT/s. This happens even though the X2 Mini Pro is slightly larger (0.8" bigger screen) and theoretically has more room on the PCB.

Since the CPU/architecture is basically identical, what's the real reason behind this?

Is it just shady marketing/market segmentation?

Or is it a physical limitation, like bad PCB trace routing and signal integrity on the X2?

Since the CPU/SoC is basically the same, do you think it will be possible to force it to 8000 MT/s via BIOS?
