Presented during the last CES 2024 in Las Vegas, the LPCAMM2 memories from Micron have turned the clock back to the time when we could replace the RAM in our portable devices by simply removing a panel.
In the hope that more and more manufacturers will decide to use them, Micron LPCAMM2 memories have made their debut on a first Lenovo laptop. Let’s find out all the details together.
Micron LPCAMM2, what are they?
LPCAM2 is a particular format of RAM that uses LPDDR5x modules and which stands out from normal memories for its small size, approximately 64% less than SO-DIMM units, and for its ease of assembly which requires the application of three simple screws .
The Micron LPCAMM2, according to the manufacturer’s words, can boast a consumption of up to 80% less than normal DDR5 and offer speed up to 7,500 MT/s.
As stated in the launch press release, an LPCAM2 module uses all 128 bits of the CPU bus and can therefore maximize bandwidth to allow better workload optimization for AI-enabled PCs.
As we mentioned, these modules are not soldered and they can be easily replaced based on user needs.
The format of the future?
The first LPCAM2 modules were equipped on the laptop Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen7a high-end workstation that brings Intel Core Ultra 9 processors and NVIDIA RTX 3000 graphics cards, as well as up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X LPCAMM2 memory.
At the moment this type of memory is available in 32 GB and 64 GB sizes exclusively on the manufacturer Crucial’s website.
In recent days Lenovo has announced its desire to enter the “Mobile on Desktop” PC segment with a first configuration equipped with Intel “HX” processors.
