JEDEC's new CAMM2 memory design has been primarily advertised as a laptop-designed memory module. While that may be the case, not many know that the CAMM2 JEDEC standard also features desktop support. MSI has partnered with Kingston to purportedly build the world's first Z790 desktop motherboard with CAMM2 memory. The new board will be showcased at Computex 2024 early next month.
The board, called the Z790 Project Zero Plus, features a black and silver finish. As the name suggests, this board takes advantage of backside connectors, similar to MSI's outgoing Project Zero motherboards, for better cable management. To the right of the CPU socket, the four DDR5 DIMM slots have been replaced by a single CAMM2 module placed horizontally on the board and installed with four screws.
