With the proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) applications in client PCs, memory subsystem performance becomes increasingly critical. LPCAMM2 is engineered to meet the demands of AI workloads on PCs, offering scalability for applications that require high performance and low power in a compact and modular form factor. It also introduces the ability to upgrade low-power DRAM for the first time, allowing customization as customer needs evolve.
Praveen Vaidyanathan, Vice President and General Manager of Micron's Compute Products Group, stated, "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. 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."
The development of this innovative memory type involved significant innovations in test hardware, testing methodologies, and automation technologies, facilitating an efficient production ramp. Key benefits of Micron's LPCAMM2 encompass:
Furthermore, Crucial LPCAMM2 retail products will empower laptop PC users to upgrade their system memory configuration, marking an industry first for low-power memory due to the upgradable design of this novel form factor. Crucial LPCAMM2 products are anticipated to be available in the first half of 2024 through www.crucial.com.
