Micron Technology, Inc. Introduces Crucial LPCAMM2
Today, Micron Technology, Inc. announced the release of Crucial LPCAMM2, a revolutionary next-generation laptop memory form factor that utilizes LPDDR5X mobile memory to enhance laptop performance for professionals and creators. With up to 58% less active power consumption and a 64% reduction in space compared to DDR5 SODIMMs, LPCAMM2 offers higher bandwidth and dual-channel support in a single module. This high-performance memory solution is perfect for handling AI PC and complex workloads and is compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 mobile workstations.
"LPCAMM2 is a game-changer for mobile workstation users looking to benefit from the latest mobile high-performance memory technology while maintaining superior performance, upgradeability, power efficiency, and space," said Jonathan Weech, senior director of product marketing for Micron's Commercial Products Group. "With LPCAMM2, we are providing a future-proof memory solution that enables faster speeds and longer battery life to support demanding creative and AI workloads."
"Lenovo's ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 is the first laptop on the market that can take advantage of the new LPCAMM2 form factor to achieve higher performance, faster AI workflows, scalable memory capacity, and improved battery life for mobile workstations and thin and light laptops," said Yasumichi Tsukamoto, vice president and distinguished engineer, Commercial Product Solutions Development at Lenovo. "This powerful combination not only enhances user experience, but the low-power memory used in LPCAMM2 modules helps reduce overall energy consumption in our laptops."
By utilizing LPDDR5X memory, LPCAMM2 offers speeds of up to 7,500MT/s, which is 1.3 times faster than DDR5 SODIMMs. This memory form factor also reduces power consumption and extends battery life, with up to 80% less standby power compared to DDR5 SODIMMs. Users can work longer on the go without sacrificing performance.
One LPCAMM2 module fills all 128 bits of CPU bus width, maximizing bandwidth for AI workloads and applications, and unlocking the full potential of AI-enabled PCs. Users can increase their performance by up to 7% for digital content creation workloads and improve productivity workloads by up to 15%, based on PCMark 10 tests. Unlike soldered-down memory, LPCAMM2 is upgradeable, allowing users to easily swap out modules and increase memory capacity as needed. It also features a thinner, fan-less design, making it more portable and sleek.
LPCAMM2 is available in 32 GB and 64 GB densities exclusively through www.crucial.com and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
[Editor's note: The 64 GB Crucial LPCAMM2 with LPDDR5X-7500 memory has an MSRP of US$329.99]
