Eh. LPCAMM seems more useful overall as a product. Faster DDR at this point in time has diminishing returns.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out though, because there are a few different paths to solve this type of problem with DDR5. Personally, I’d love for much lower power, but a wider bus, which is where I thought things were heading.

Well we’ve seen CAS latency increase almost quicker than DDR speeds. CAMM should address this issue by shortening the distance from cpu to RAM, at least for laptops.

I’d say DIMM has pretty much stranded in DDR5.

Well usually yes, but if cpu manufacturers decide to really lean into cramming lots of cores into cpu-s (Like Intel’s big.LITTLE cpus, but even more cores), then we probably will need faster RAM-s, since more core == more memory bandwith demand, and currently this issue has been always resolved by faster RAMs. (Or we could just increase the memory channels)
