Micron’s LPDDR5x-based LPCAMM2 brings compact, efficient, modular memory to laptops

Less than a month after the CAMM2 memory standard was approved, Micron is introducing its first LPCAMM2 modules with support for 16GB to 64GB of space-saving, energy-efficient, and replaceable LPDDR5x memory. The company says it offers the compact size, energy efficiency, and speed of LPDRR memory, enabling the modules to be used in thinner laptops, […]

CAMM2 standard approved for up to 128GB of speedy, removable memory modules

In recent years we’ve seen a growing number of PC makers adopt LPDDR memory for thin and light laptops and mini PCs, where space is at a premium. But since that memory is fixed to the motherboard, it’s not user upgradeable. Last year Dell came up with another solution it calls CAMM (or Compression Attached […]

Samsung’s LPCAMM puts speedy, low-power LPDDR memory onto a removable module

Most modern laptops use one of two types of RAM: LPDDR memory that’s soldered to the motherboard or DDR-based SODIMMs that are removable. Samsung’s new LPCAMM  (Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module) technology combines the best of both worlds. Like LPDDR, it’s a low-power, high-speed memory solution. But like DDR, it’s removable, allowing PC makers […]

CAMM could replace SODIMM memory in next-gen laptops

Most laptops released over the past two decades have used replaceable SODIMM sticks for memory although a growing number of thin and light systems in recent years have featured non-replaceable LPDDR memory soldered to the motherboard. But last year Dell introduced a new type of removable memory called CAMM that’s capable of higher capacity and […]

Dell’s new Precision laptops feature CAMM memory modules rather than SODIMMs

In recent years laptop memory has either come in the form of a removable SODIMM stick or been soldered to the motherboard. But Dell’s new Precision 7670 and Precision 770 mobile workstation laptops take a slightly different approach. They both have user-upgradeable memory. But instead of SODIMM sticks, they use a new format called CAMM […]
