The SODIMM replacement finally arrives
Lenovo's latest ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 laptop is set to be the first to use the new LPCAMM2 memory form factor, the successor to SODIMM sticks.
While Lenovo has largely focused on the AI performance of its new laptop, which is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra CPU and Nvidia RTX 3000 Ada GPU, the company also noted that its device was the first in the world to use the LPCAMM2 memory standard.Designed specifically for laptops, the LPCAMM2 standard actually has its origins in tech developed by Dell. Simply termed CAMM , it first debuted as a proprietary type of memory in Dell's Precision 7670 in 2022.
Among performance and efficiency boosts, LPCAMM2 is designed to be user upgradeable like SODIMM. Additionally, its physically smaller size may make it an alternative to soldered LPDDR5X modules, which can't be removed from computers without a soldering iron.in January during CES. Micron has talked up LPCAMM2's benefits for AI, but if all the claims about the new standard bang on, then it would be a big improvement for all users.
There aren't any in-depth analyses or reviews of LPCAMM2 in the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 at this stage. Micron's claim of an 80 percent reduction in idle power usage is an especially grand assertion, and it's not clear if LPCAMM2 can live up to that. ®Guess what it's great for? Go on, have a guess...
