Mikron Technology Inc. introduced the industry’s first standard low-power memory module (LPCAMM2). Available in capacities from 16 GB to 64 GB, LCAMM2 promises improved performance, energy efficiency, space saving and modularity.
Production is expected to begin in the first half of 2024 and is positioned as the first revolutionary form factor for client PCs since the introduction of small internal dual memory modules (SODIMMs) in 1997.
Integrating Micron’s LPDDR5X DRAM, LPDDR5X DRAM delivers up to 61% lower power consumption and up to 71% better performance for essential workloads such as web browsing and video conferencing. Additionally, it offers an impressive 64% space savings compared to SODIMM offerings. As generative artificial intelligence (GAI) becomes more common in client computers, LCAMM2 is designed to provide the performance needed to handle AI workloads while maintaining low power consumption.
Praveen Vaidyanathan, vice president and general manager of Micron’s computing products group, emphasizes the transformative nature of LCAMM2, saying it will deliver best-in-class performance per watt in a flexible, modular form factor. The new product is expected to expand the laptops’ capabilities with AI support and allow for memory upgrades as technology and user needs evolve.
Development of LCAMM2 involved collaboration with major PC OEMs and ecosystem developers and is a significant departure from current memory module form factors. The new memory solution offers higher performance with LPDDR5X, reaching speeds of up to 9600 Mbps, 80% lower system standby power consumption for better battery life, and benefits for digital content creation and productivity workloads.
In addition, LPCAM2 features modularity that provides critical ease of use for enterprise IT users and administrators. It includes a single PCB for all modules and provides supply chain flexibility for OEM and ODM customers. Compared to SODIMMs, LCAMM2 simplifies the complexity of motherboard routing.
Key LCAMM2 products will be available at retail, allowing laptop users, including gamers and content creators, to upgrade their system memory configurations to the industry’s first low-power memory. Key LCAMM2 products will be available in the first half of 2024.
