Title: DDR6 RAM standard to launch in CAMM2 form-factor with speeds between 8.8 and 21 Gbps
Post by: Redaktion on May 22, 2024, 14:07:49
While DDR6 RAM modules could reach 17.6 or even 21 Gbps speeds with overclocking,  LPDDR6 modules used mainly for laptops and mobile devices would only cap out at 14.4 Gbps. Both standards will adopt the CAM2 form-factor, so desktop PC RAM modules would also connect in a parallel orientation to the motherboard.

Gigabits/sec (Gbps) != Gigatransfers/sec (GT/s).

The memory speeds you're referencing as Gbps are actually GT/s, so the actual Gbps rate is much higher.

The switch to CAMM2 is a smart move, especially if it helps with power efficiency and easier upgrades. Seeing DDR6 reach up to 21 Gbps sounds promising. Really looking forward to the official DDR6 RAM release date and how it impacts future desktop and laptop motherboard designs.

DDR6 reaching 21 Gbps is a huge leap, especially for high-performance tasks like gaming or data processing. The shift to the CAMM2 form factor is also interesting — it could lead to slimmer desktop designs and better thermal management. I'm personally keeping an eye on the DDR6 RAM release date, since it'll likely define the next big upgrade cycle. LPDDR6 being capped at 14.4 Gbps makes sense, considering power efficiency is key for laptops and mobile devices. Exciting times ahead for memory tech!
