That's good to know. But when will the majority of laptop makers ditch SO-DIMM & go for the newer CAMM standard instead ??

CAMM which was designed by JEDEC and Dell as the next memory standard for laptops, offers up to 128 GB of capacities that can be upgraded easily since they use CAMM Compression connector( which can also be used for a more traditional approach, by connecting a secondary board with SO-DIMM slots should the memory makers want to go with).

I can only see faster speeds, high reusability with CAMM, while making repairs also easy as possible. The whole CAMM unit is a separate module that features several memory dies on its PCB.

Dell claims the CAMM module is 57% thinner as compared to a traditional SODIMM memory and carries up to 128 GB of memory on a single side. Adoption rate seems to very less though.
