Micron debuts LPCAMM2, laptop RAM that could finally replace SODIMM
Micron says it's the first to market with a compelling to standard laptop RAM: LPCAMM2 RAM using LPDDR5X modules.
The SODIMM standard — which is basically a shrunken form of desktop RAM modules — is almost 25 years old and facing an upcoming speed wall. With the demand for thinner machines, laptop makers have also started soldering LPDDR RAM directly onto motherboards, or bundling it into mobile SoCs like Apple Silicon, both of which make upgrades impossible. In addition to the speed and power benefits, CAMM2 modules re-open the doors for RAM upgrades and repairability for consumers and IT workers, something that has been lost as soldered memory has become more common.
