Description:
Samsungs LPDDR-based LPCAMM memory will offer 50% greater performance in the 
next generation of PCs and laptops.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Samsung has devised a new kind of memory that adopts a low-power compression 
attached memory module (LPCAMM) form factor to replace the RAM currently 
found in the best laptops and PCs. 

 LPDDR and SODIMM RAM are the prevailing form factors in todays computers. 
While the former is compact, its fixed the the motherboard, meaning replacing 
it can be difficult. The latter, meanwhile, normally fitted into laptops , 
can be detached easily, but they have other limitations in terms of 
performance. 

Samsungs LPCAMM memory, by contrast, is a staggering 60% smaller than 
SODIMM-based memory. It also boosts performance by up to 50% and power 
efficiency by up to 70%, the company claims. Could LPCAMM be a game changer 
for servers? 

With power efficiency and sustainability especially becoming a concern among 
device manufacturers, Samsung is hoping its LPCAMM form factor can be a 
solution to both issues. Its a good thing, then that its completed system 
verification via Intel. 

Given its so much more power efficient than conventional memory, such as 
LPDDR5 RAM , and it can swapped in/out with ease, Samsung is hoping this 
technology can entice the industry to adopt it on a widespread basis in the 
coming years. 

The firm is also hoping its power-saving features make it a great choice for 
servers and IT infrastructure more broadly. 

LPDDR RAM has power-saving features, which work to improve the total cost of 
operation for data center operators, but using this kind of RAM can lead to 
other difficulties. Replacing it, for example, means ripping out the entire 
motherboard if improving the DRAM specification. 

Given its modular nature, LPCAMM may be a solid alternative for data center 
operators who want to cut down on energy consumption and easily replace the 
components that power their servers. 

Samsung will test LPCAMM in next-generation systems with its customers this 
year, with the hope to commercialize the technology next year. More from
