First time in hearing this, so thank you!

Soldered RAM is really faster then socketed RAM?
I can't really see why, when only looking at the connection level.

But soldered RAM also means, they only need to support exactly this RAM.
So they can leave out some stuff handing different speeds and can optimise for exactly this RAM.

Is that the reason?
I've actually never thought about that until now...

More electrical interference from the actual socket, high speed RAM is fussy about things like that, and trace length etc.
