Lately, laptop designs have been seen in various interesting forms, from small to large designs, with two screens and even foldable screens. Larger memory capacity requirements are also required especially with increasingly memory hungry software and applications.
Recently, Samsung has introduced a new memory offering called LPCAMM or Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module which shows a combination of smaller memory module size, and more memory compared to the usual SODIMM memory.
In terms of design, Samsung says that this LPCAMM memory comes with a 60 percent more compact design than SODIMM memory, and comes with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB memory offerings in a much larger module than what SODIMM can offer.
Apart from the more compact design, Samsung also says that this memory module comes with 70 percent more efficient power consumption compared to SODIMM memory module offerings.
CAMM memory was developed by Dell, and has previously been used by JEDEC to enable them to develop more compact memory modules for various types of devices.
Samsung has successfully manufactured this LPCAMM memory, and has tested it with Intel systems for now. Tests with AMD, Qualcomm systems and so on are expected to be done in the future.
Samsung is expected to develop this LPCAMM memory module on a large scale by the end of this year, where it is expected to be used by various device makers in the future. The commercialization of LPCAMM memory is expected to happen in laptop devices and server machines in 2024.
Samsung says that they will only use LPDDR5X memory chips for this LPCAMM memory module, and there are no plans to use this technology to develop DDR4 memory modules.
