Lenovo's latest ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 computer will be the first to use the new LPCAMM2 memory form factor, the successor to SODIMM memories.
New laptop memory is here! LPCAMM2 changes everything!
While Lenovo has largely focused on the AI performance of its new laptop, which is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra CPU and Nvidia RTX 3000 Ada GPU, the company also noted that its device was the first in the world to use the LPCAMM2 memory standard.
LPCAMM2 uses 64 percent less space than SODIMM and 61 percent less active power, according to Lenovo. This is thanks to the fact that it is based on LPDDR5X memory instead of regular DDR5.
The LPCAMM2 standard is designed specifically for notebook computers and actually originates from technology developed by Dell. Simply called CAMM (Compression Attached Memory Module), it first debuted as its own type of memory in Dell's Precision 7670 in 2022. But in 2023, the PC giant donated its intellectual property to JEDEC, the organization that standardizes memory technologies.
