SO-DIMM memory will be replaced in 2024 by a new standard called Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module (LPCAMM). Samsung has verified the first modules with Intel. They are said to be more compact, efficient and faster than SO-DIMMs.
In 2022, Dell used specially developed CAMM memory modules in workstation notebooks for the first time, and standardization of the memory format was announced in early 2023. The JEDEC standard intends to replace the Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM), which has been in use for over 25 years. Unlike SO-DIMMs, which are especially common in notebooks and mini PCs, CAMMs Screwed rather than plugged or soldered. Now Samsung has announced LPCAMM and modules Verified by Intel’s platform.
Because the data paths are smaller than SO-DIMMs, the newer modules allow High clock frequency. SO-DIMMs currently max out at 48 GB per module and can reach 6,400 MT/s. Samsung claims 7.5 gigabits per second and 50 percent more performance than typical SO-DIMMs. In addition, LPCAMM should Increase energy efficiency by 70 percent and reduce the required area by 60 percent (if two SO-DIMMS are next to each other).
Market launch with Meteor Lake in 2024
LPCAMM will be tested on next-generation systems this year, and the first devices are expected to be available in 2024. The Meteor Lake notebook is likely to be announced at CES 2024 in January. with a memory module The LPCAMM measures 78 × 23 millimeters, for SO-DIMM it is 67.6 × 30 millimeters. According to Samsung, the cost should remain relatively low due to small area, good efficiency, high capacity and greater performance potential. Since the modules are also interchangeable, the company sees LPCAMM not only as a notebook alternative, but also as an alternative. Also for desktop and server.
