Samsung Electronics recently published an article stating thatSuccessfully developed the first 7.5Gbps low-power compressed add-on memory module (LPCAMM) form factor, this breakthrough research and development achievement has now completed system verification on the Intel platform. This achievement may change the DRAM (dynamic random access memory) market for PCs and laptops, and even affect the DRAM market structure in data centers.

According to Samsung, current computers use traditional LPDD DRAM or So-DIMM (small dual embedded memory modules), but both technologies have certain limitations.Due to structural limitations, LPDDR needs to be installed directly on the motherboard, making it difficult to repair or upgrade..Although So-DIMM is more convenient to install and remove, there are certain limitations in performance and power consumption..
LPCAMM technology is expected to overcome the shortcomings of LPDDR and So-DIMM at the same time., as a removable memory module, LPCAMM not only greatly reduces the internal space occupied by the device, but also greatly improves performance and energy efficiency.Compared with So-DIMM, the performance is increased by 50%, the energy efficiency is increased by 70%, and the size is reduced by 60%..
LPDDR is used in servers due to its good power-saving characteristics. However, LPDDR still has certain limitations in actual use. For example, when upgrading server DRAM specifications, the entire motherboard must be replaced. Using LPCAMM can effectively avoid these problems.
Intel vice president of memory and IO technology said: "LPCAMM's energy efficiency and easy repair advantages give this new form factor the opportunity to change the rules of the game in today's PC market. We are excited to be part of setting new standards that will support the PC ecosystem and lay the foundation for future adoption across a wider range of market segments, as well as innovation in the technology. "
Samsung said it will apply LPCAMM to next-generation systems for testing this year with major customers including Intel, and plans to commercialize it in 2024.
