MSI Introduces CAMM2 DDR5 Memory for Desktops

New memory modules promise higher speeds, lower latencies, better cooling, and cost savings over traditional RAM designs.

Overview

  • CAMM2 memory modules connect directly to the CPU, reducing signal traces and improving performance.
  • The new design supports dual-channel operation on a single module, unlike traditional SO-DIMMs.
  • CAMM2's flat profile enhances system cooling by allowing better airflow and reducing obstructions.
  • Manufacturers like MSI, ASUS, and ASRock are developing motherboards to support CAMM2.
  • CAMM2 modules are more repairable and cost-effective due to fewer components and simplified connections.
