As early as next year, a new type of LPCAMM memory modules will appear on Intel’s mobile platforms, which is supposed to replace the SO-DIMM format used so far. The idea is that while SO-DIMMs allow for expandability, the memory modules are too large for today’s thin device requirements. On the other hand, they are tiny on a LPDDR-powered board, but they do not allow replacement. LPCAMM should take the best of both worlds and bring both compact dimensions and the possibility of exchange. The company introduced a new type of modules Samsung.
According to Samsung, the new LPCAMM is 60% smaller compared to SO-DIMM (Dell talked about 57% in the past), but overall it is not a big difference. While the SO-DIMM is 69.6×30 mm with a thickness of 3.8 mm, the LPCAMM has only a 14% smaller area at 78×23 mm. At the same time, it increases performance by 50%, which is not directly due to the format, but because 7.5Gbps memory chips were used here in the first generation. It is also said that the efficiency has been increased by 70% (note, they are talking about efficiency, not a 70% reduction in consumption, these are two different things). It is expected that the new technology should help bring up to 128 GB of RAM to laptops. Let’s remind you that we first heard about CAMM modules about 1.5 years ago from Dell. The question now remains as to which devices LPCAMM will penetrate at all.
