G.Skill, Kingston, and Teamgroup all showed off DDR5 CAMM2 memory modules at Computex this month, but it's unclear if or when they'll come to market since that standard hasn't been widely adopted by motherboard makers yet. #CAMM #CAMM2 #memory #RAM #Computex2025 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/camm2-and-modules-smile-to-the-camera-but-do-not-expect-them-on-the-market-soon

I think that #CAMM is a bad design compared to #SODIMM & #DIMM...

• Like #Apple's bs of #SolderedDownRAM but just slightly less worse cuz now one could only in theory get a daughterboard and doesn't have to replace individual chips.

Still, just gimme regular-ass socketed Chips & #DIMMs ffs!

• Also we don't need to make the THINN-nest machines ffs - just make them #repairable and #serviceable and #upgradeable, because #AntiRepairDesign is way more unsustainable than the 0,1% of idiots who give a shit about whether their #DDR5-RAM can do 6400MT/s or 4800MT/s, simply because most users won't notice that at all (unlike switching from a 2,5" #SATA-#HDD running at 5400rpm to an #NVMe-#SSD that maxes out #PCIe 4x connections.

#FACT: #RAM & #SSD|s are inevitably dying due to age and use and like #ThermalPaste need to be #replaceable for a device to work longterm!

• So stop the #Enshittification of #tech FFS!

I'd rather have a #THICC af #laptop that actually survives my daily use than some flimsy #tablet that snaps in half if I sneeze at it.

• No seriously, most devices can't even fit proper ports and cooling fans for no good reason whatsoever!

Also I think it's insulting to frame basic things like "stability" as a negative.

• Guess what? People want to #GetShitDone and the folks that actually buy a #MobileWorkstation want to be able to rely on that equipment...

JEDEC unveils some details about upcoming memory standards: DDR5 MRDIMM with up to 12.8 Gbps bandwidth and LPDDR6 CAMM2 modules with up to 14.4 GT/s speeds. https://buff.ly/3Yc29gM #JEDEC #Memory #RAM #LPDDR6 #CAMM #CAMM2 #MRDIMM #DDR5

@rafe Neat -- I didn't know about #CAMM (I've installed AMD #LGA CPUs, so I'm familiar with how these may work).

This article from last year gave me more details on the genesis of this technology: https://www.pcworld.com/article/693366/dell-defends-its-controversial-new-laptop-memory.html

ADATA is showing off next-gen memory modules at Computex, including its version of CAMM for ultrathin laptops (first introduced by DELL, but soon to be adopted by JEDEC as a standard) and new server-class solutions. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/adata-demos-next-gen-memory-modules

CAMM could replace SODIMM memory in next-gen laptops
