Low-profile memory module headed to laptops might be destined for desktops too

Someone holding a module of LPCAMM at CES 2024.

Last year saw the emergence of a new memory module standard called CAMM2, a flat alternative to the SO-DIMM sticks used widely in laptops today. The benefits of CAMM are clear: they're thinner than SO-DIMM but just as replaceable. That means we should start seeing the memory module emerge in laptops at some point in the next few years. Yet more surprisingly it sounds like CAMM could also be headed to desktops, too.

Over at CES, Korean outlet ITSub spoke to SK Hynix, one of the world's largest memory manufacturers, about the new CAMM2 standard. They were told that CAMM2 will both be adopted in laptops and on desktop, as spotted by harukaze5719 on X (via WCCFTech).
