Studding wall - New Prefabricated System?

I looked at the British Gypsum site earlier, for paramount partition (the eggbox double sided panels) and for the laminated partition system (50mmish thick) comprising 2 faces of 12.5 mm board dry lined onto a central core of

I once worked out the thinnest acceptable quick internal wall could be made from 3/4" ply sheet as the structural element, lined with 9mm PB each side. Total thickness 37mm

Adding shelves is a cheat's way of improving noise reduction.
