Micron First to Market With LPDDR5X-based LPCAMM2 Memory, Transforming User Experiences for PCs
09 Janeiro 2024 - 11:02AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today unveiled the industry’s
first standard low-power compression attached memory module
(LPCAMM2) available in capacities from 16GB to 64GB, which delivers
higher performance, energy-efficiency, space savings and modularity
for PCs. Sampling now with production in the first half of 2024,
LPCAMM2 is the first disruptive new form factor for client PCs
since the introduction of small outline dual inline memory modules
(SODIMMs) in 1997. Micron’s LPDDR5X DRAM incorporated into the
innovative LPCAMM2 form factor will provide up to 61% lower power1
and up to 71% better performance for PCMark® 10 essential workloads
such as web browsing and video conferencing,2 along with a 64%
space savings over SODIMM offerings.3
As generative artificial intelligence (GAI) use cases
proliferate to client PCs, performance of the memory subsystem
becomes more critical. LPCAMM2 delivers the required performance to
process AI workloads on PCs and provide the potential to scale to
applications needing a high performance and low power solution in a
compact and modular form factor, with the ability to upgrade low
power DRAM for the first time, as customer needs evolve.
“Micron is transforming the laptop user’s experience with the
LPCAMM2 product that will deliver best-in-class performance per
watt in a flexible, modular form factor,” said Praveen
Vaidyanathan, vice president and general manager of Micron’s
Compute Products Group. “This first-of-its-kind product will
enhance the capabilities of AI-enabled laptops, whose memory
capacity can be upgraded as technology and customer needs
evolve.”
Micron’s leadership in JEDEC and collaboration with key client
PC OEMs and ecosystem enablers helped design and develop the
LPCAMM2 form factor. Beyond product development, delivering this
new type of memory has involved numerous innovations for test
hardware, testing methodologies and automation technologies that
will enable an efficient production ramp. Additional benefits of
Micron’s LPCAMM2 include:
- Higher performance with LPDDR5X to achieve speeds up to
9600Mbps versus 5600Mbps with current DDR5 SODIMMs4
- Up to 80%5 system standby power savings to improve battery
life
- Up to 7% better performance for digital content creation
workloads6
- Up to 15% improvement for productivity workloads in PCMark 10
tests6
- Modularity to enable critical serviceability functionality for
enterprise IT users and administrators
- Single PCB for all module capacities to provide supply chain
flexibility to OEM and ODM customers
- Simplified motherboard routing complexity compared to
SODIMM
- Crucial LPCAMM2 retail products allow laptop PC users the
ability to upgrade their system memory configuration
“LPCAMM2 is a dynamic new form factor for the PC ecosystem that
enables higher performance, scalable memory capacity, and improved
battery life for mobile workstations and thin and light laptops,”
said Yasumichi Tsukamoto, executive director and distinguished
engineer, Commercial Product Solutions Development at Lenovo. “We
are proud of our strong relationship and joint development effort
with Micron to be one of the first to market in bringing this
flexible memory offering to our customers. In addition to the
enhanced user experience, the low power memory used in these
modules aligns with our goals to reduce energy consumption in our
laptops.”
“Intel and Micron, in close collaboration with key industry PC
leaders, are reimagining the client PC space through the
development of optimized new platform designs, powered by Micron’s
LPCAMM2 form factor. The technical advantages of LPCAMM2 technology
enable Intel and its ecosystem partners to advance sustainable
low-power memory technology solutions and exciting new PC designs
for the age of the AI PC,” said Dr. Dimitrios Ziakas, vice
president of Memory and IO Technology at Intel. “We remain
committed to our collaboration with the ecosystem, paving the path
for future adoption and innovation.”
“The use of large language models and AI applications on edge
devices like laptops and mobile workstations is a key focus area
for our future customer-focused designs,” said Andy Lee, senior
vice president of Compal. “Compal is working closely with Micron to
design platforms that are going to fuel the AI revolution based on
the high bandwidth, low power, and high-capacity capabilities of
Micron’s LPCAMM2 memory solutions.”
Micron will also offer end customers Crucial LPCAMM2 memory
offerings to provide laptop users like gamers, on-the-go
professionals and content creators with the ability to upgrade
their memory themselves, an industry first for low-power memory due
to the upgradeable design of this new form factor. Crucial LPCAMM2
products will be available in the first half of 2024 on
www.crucial.com. To learn more about the innovative features and
