Micron Technology has launched the Crucial LPCAMM2, a new form factor for laptop memory that incorporates LPDDR5X mobile memory. This innovative technology promises to reduce active power consumption by up to 58% and occupy 64% less space than DDR5 SODIMMs, aiming to enhance laptop performance for professionals and creators. According to Jonathan Weech, senior director of product marketing for Micron’s Commercial Products Group, the LPCAMM2 is a game-changer for mobile workstation users who want to enjoy the benefits of the latest high-performance mobile memory technology without sacrificing superior performance, upgradeability, power efficiency, or space.
Lenovo has integrated the LPCAMM2 into its Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7, making it the first laptop on the market to utilize this new memory form factor. Yasumichi Tsukamoto, vice president of Commercial Product Solutions Development at Lenovo, stated that Lenovo’s ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 is the first laptop available that can leverage the newest LPCAMM2 form factor to provide higher performance, faster AI workflows, scalable memory capacity, and improved battery life for mobile workstations and thin and light laptops.
The LPCAMM2 supports faster speeds of up to 7,500MT/s which are approximately 1.3 times faster than DDR5 SODIMMs and offers up to 80% less standby power. It is designed to maximize bandwidth for AI workloads and applications by filling all 128 bits of CPU bus width with a single module. Additionally, unlike soldered-down memory, LPCAMM2 modules are upgradeable, allowing users to increase memory capacity as needed.
Micron’s LPCAMM2 is currently available in 32GB and 64GB densities and can be purchased exclusively through www.crucial.com. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
