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 […]
LPDDR5-9600 smartphone memory is coming
Next year’s flagship smartphones could be the first to feature LPDDR5 memory with support for data transfer speeds up to 9.6 TB/s, or 9600 MT/s. Micron and SK Hynix have each announced that their next-gen memory solutions are designed to work in devices powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. The SKY Hynix […]
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 LPCAMMÂ (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 […]
Intel Meteor Lake chips could support on-package LPDDR5X memory
Intel’s upcoming Meteor Lake processors will be the company’s first chips manufactured using a new Intel 4 process, which the company says will bring improvements in performance and efficiency. They’ll also be the company’s first chips to use tiled architecture that separates key components like the CPU, GPU, and other parts into a series of […]
ULTRARAM low-power memory could offer the speed of DRAM and non-volatility of flash storage
Researchers from Lancaster University have developed a new type of computer memory product that they say combines the best features of DRAM memory and SSD storage…. and then surpasses them. Like flash storage, ULTRARAM is said to be non-volatile memory. That means it can save data indefinitely without consuming power. According to press materials, data […]
RedMagic 8S Pro+ gaming phone features up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage
As expected, the first smartphone with support for up to 24GB of RAM has arrived. The RedMagic 8S Pro+ is a gaming phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 processor, a fan for active cooling, and a 6.8 inch FHD+ display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 960 Hz touch sampling rate. The […]
Phones with 24GB of RAM are coming (for some reason)
Nubia subsidiary Red Magic specializing in making gaming phones with hardware that pushes the boundaries of what you expect from a pocket-sized device. The company was one of the first to release a phone with a fan for active cooling. And it was one of the first to introduce phones with up to 18GB of […]
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 […]
