Computer RAM gets biggest upgrade in 25 years but it may be too little, too late — LPCAMM2 won't stop Apple, Intel and AMD from integrating memory directly on the CPU

LPCAMM2 is a revolution in RAM, but it faces an uphill struggle

However, LPDDR memory isn't modular and must be soldered onto the motherboard, meaning replacing it for repairs or upgrades isn’t practical. CAMM is a new form factor for laptop RAM that has just been adopted by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association and given the name CAMM2. Tech giants like Apple are hard-wiring memory into the processor, an approach which removes traditional bottlenecks and makes the RAM much more efficient.
