Is LPCAMM2 just a new form-factor, kinda like 2.5" drives to m.2 drives, or is there some leap in how it works? I don't quite get if the "C" in CAMM is for data

Is LPCAMM2 just a new form-factor, kinda like 2.5" drives to m.2 drives, or is there some leap in how it works? I don't quite get if the "C" in CAMM is for data compression or just it's 'physically' compressed.
- LorenDB 2y agoCompression describes how it is physically attached. Similar to desktop CPUs, LPCAMM maintains contact with the mobo via screws that apply a consistent pressure to the module, ensuring a completely solid connection.
- MrRadar 2y agoIt enables shorter traces between the CPU and memory chips which allows for higher speeds compared to the traditional SO-DIMM form factor. And the compression is physical (the socket works like modern LGA CPU sockets).
- wtallis 2y agoThere is no preceding form factor that LPCAMM2 will replace. It's the first standardized removable module for LPDDR. Prior to this, LPDDR has only been usable in soldered-down packages.
- hwbehrens 2y agoEmphasis on 'standardized' -- the 2 in LPCAMM2 is indeed meant to refer to the second generation of LPCAMM, but it's the first generation that has been approved as a JEDEC standard (and therefore, the first one that most people will be able to buy).
- wtallis 2y agoWas the original CAMM from Dell ever used with LPDDR, or just DDR5?
- rstat1 2y agoLPCAMM2 = Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module 2 So the compression in this case is physical.
