And the tech is pretty interesting\u2014CAMMs are quite compact and feature two memory \u201czones,\u201d each with up to 64GB of RAM.<\/p>\n<p>That means a single CAMM may support 128GB of memory, eliminating the need for two dedicated SO-DIMM slots. Whittling a laptop down to a single CAMM slot may not sound like a big deal, but it provides more space for internal hardware (such as storage or cooling) and could reduce a laptop\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More up to date? not at the moment.

They aren\u2019t soldered to the board, thank goodness, but they\u2019re quite niche. If any manufacturers (particularly Dell) decide to sell these modules for user upgrades, they will cost a lot more than regular DDR5 SO-DIMM RAM.<\/p>\n<p>The good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> is that this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> has clear benefits. Not just to the user, but to manufacturers.
