Super-svelte CAMM2 memory can deliver higher clock speeds, lower latencies, costs, and even better system cooling says MSI

MSI Project Zero motherboard with CAMM2 memory support.

Let's start with the obvious: CAMM2 memory is flat. Initially designed to fit inside mobile devices thanks to its ultra-slim design, CAMM2 has since been heralded as potentially the future of desktop RAM, and we've seen several manufacturers show off super-skinny modules of CAMM2 that may soon be slotting in (or should that be, mounting on?) our desktop PC motherboards.

But beyond looking odd (it can't just be me crossing my eyes looking at a desktop mobo with no RAM sticking up from the board, can it?), there are several potential advantages to the new form factor, at least according to MSI. It live-streamed a deep dive into CAMM2, espousing the benefits of the new standard and why it might show up in your next build (via Wccftech).
