Samsung unveils LPDDR-based LPCAMM
Samsung’s Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module (LPCAMM) leverages LPDDR5X memory devices in a faster, smaller form factor. Expected to impact the DRAM market for PCs and laptops, the LPDDR5X-enabled LPCAMM delivers a throughput of 7.5 Gbps while occupying up to 60% less space on the motherboard than SO-DIMM memory modules.
Unlike LPDDR DRAM devices, which are permanently attached to the motherboard, LPCAMM is a detachable module that not only allows upgrading, but affords flexibility during the production process. And while DDR-based SO-DIMMs are attached and detached easily, LPCAMM permits more efficient use of a product’s internal space. According to Samsung, LPCAMM also improves performance by up to 50% and power efficiency by up to 70% compared to SO-DIMMs.
LPCAMM scales to 128 GB and includes onboard serial presence detect (SPD) and power management ICs. It has completed system verification with Intel’s platform and is set to be tested using next-generation systems from major customers this year. Commercialization of the LPCAMM is planned for 2024.
A datasheet for the LPCAMM was unavailable at the time of this announcement. To learn more about Samsung’s LPDDR DRAM devices, click here.
