It's kind of pricey when DDR5 5600 SODIMM costs $230 for 2x32GB, and $110 for 2x16GB, but I think it's well worth the premium.

it's actually not so expensive, given that it's the actual bleeding edge of the technology.

i paid much much more for the kit of ram in my signature back in the days of the 2700x

Yeah this is a lot less greedy than I thought I'd see. Maybe they learned this time around?

I really hope to see CAMM2 in a dual channel format for desktops in the future. Come on AMD, make it happen!

I don't think we know for sure if CAMM will be helpful at all for desktop/SFF in terms of space savings, achievable speeds, signal integrity, etc., but it shouldn't take long to figure it out.

You can get dual-channel in one module, and may be able to stack two CAMMs. If Intel or AMD make future consumer desktop platforms quad-channel for faster APUs that would be interesting.

$180 for 32 GB is great considering brands like Apple abd Microsoft charge $200+ for 8 GB and it is close to soldered RAM in performace and size. Finally ultrabooks can be 80% insufferable instead of 100%.

Looks like a lpcamm module takes the same area as 1 SODIMM slot, so it have better density than SODDIM at 64GB per slot.

It could be useful in SFF desktops, you can put the ram slot closer to the CPU, since it is very thin it would not interfere with the cooler.
