Micron First to Market With LPDDR5X-based LPCAMM2 Memory

Whats ironic about the situation is neither of the Laptops shown off at CES feature CAMM infact even Dell isnt adopting that standard.

I think it's rumored that the new xps and precision will have this??

They are not present in latest XPS announced at CES, all have soldered RAM.

According to the video, Lenovo is apparently going for it.
Also, we don't know this for sure, I would expect at least a few model to support it.

Would be quite useful for their ultra thin laptops. Also have noticed Lenovo is moving towards 2242 sized SSDs these days.

has that been confirmed by dell?

Look how they massacred my boy... - Alienware M16 + Dell XPS Lineup

LTT dissassembled the laptops (and mocked Dell for not using the standard they helped to create)

if it cuts down on dpc latency and makes it have less latency for media creation than that would actually be worth it... DPC latency is one of the worst things for audio production...

LPCAMM modules are 128bit wide:

Modular LPDDR Memory Becomes A Reality: Samsung Introduces LPCAMM Memory Modules

LPDDR5 is actually 16bit wide per chip so you can actually call it octo-channel, though they obviously stack.

Yes & that's the combined channel width.

The immediate takeaway is that with LPCAMM, Samsung is placing 4 x32 LPDDR5X memory packages directly over the compression connector, allowing for a 128-bit memory bus on a single memory module.

It's 16 or 32bit ~

But how many different form factors/footprints did they include in the standard? The initial proposal from Dell had about a dozen, one for each size more or less which makes adoption harder. I don't have access to the standard but if they included something similar to what Dell originally proposed hopefully the rest of the industry is smart enough to go the way of the m.2 and agrees on one form factor to be the preferred one like how m.2 2280 is the standard in the consumer space

This is the only one I have seen for LPDDR.
