Samsung Electronics’ Industry-First LPCAMM Ushers in Future of Memory Modules – Samsung Global Newsroom

LPDDR-based LPCAMM will lead next-gen module marketplace for PCs and laptops, presumably extending to information facilities

Enhancements in efficiency by 50%, energy effectivity by 70% and mounting space by 60% in comparison with So-DIMMs, with commercialization slated for 2024

Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior reminiscence expertise, at present introduced that it has developed the trade’s first Low Energy Compression Connected Reminiscence Module (LPCAMM) type issue, which is anticipated to rework the DRAM¹ marketplace for PCs and laptops — and probably even information facilities. Samsung’s groundbreaking growth for its 7.5 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) LPCAMM has accomplished system verification via Intel’s platform.

Traditionally, PCs and laptops have conventionally used LPDDR DRAM or DDR-based So-DIMMs.² Whereas LPDDR is compact, it’s completely connected to the motherboard, making it difficult to interchange throughout repairs or upgrades. Alternatively, So-DIMMs could be connected or indifferent simply however have limitations with efficiency and different bodily options.

LPCAMM overcomes the shortcomings of each LPDDR and So-DIMMs, addressing the elevated demand for extra environment friendly but compact units. Being a removable module, LPCAMM affords enhanced flexibility for PC and laptop computer producers through the manufacturing course of. In comparison with So-DIMM, LPCAMM occupies as much as 60% much less house on the motherboard. This enables extra environment friendly use of units’ inner house whereas additionally bettering efficiency by as much as 50% and energy effectivity by as much as 70%.

LPDDR’s power-saving options have made it a beautiful choice for servers, because it may probably enhance whole price of operation (TCO) effectivity. Nevertheless, utilizing LPDDR can create operational difficulties resembling the necessity to change your complete motherboard when upgrading a server’s DRAM specs. LPCAMM affords an answer to those challenges, creating vital potential for it to turn out to be the answer of selection for future information facilities and servers.

“The power effectivity and repairability benefits of LPCAMM make this new type issue a recreation changer in at present’s PC market,” stated Dr. Dimitrios Ziakas, Vice President of Reminiscence & IO Expertise at Intel. “We’re excited to be part of the brand new commonplace enabling the consumer PC ecosystem and pave the trail for future adoption and innovation in broader market segments.”

“With the rising demand in modern reminiscence options encompassing excessive efficiency, low energy consumption and manufacturing flexibility throughout varied fields, LPCAMM is anticipated to achieve large adoption in PCs, laptops and information facilities,” stated Yongcheol Bae, Govt Vice President of Reminiscence Product Planning Staff at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung is dedicated to actively pursuing alternatives to develop the LPCAMM answer market and collaborating carefully with the trade to discover new functions for its use.”

LPCAMM is about to be examined utilizing next-generation methods with main clients this 12 months, and commercialization is deliberate for 2024.
