- TeamGroup claims CAMM2 memory promises high-speed DDR5 performance
- Revolutionary design provides dual-channel operation in a single module
- Limited motherboard compatibility creates challenges for CAMM2 adoption
T-Rb launches Compressed Add-on Memory Module 2 (CAMM2) to ensure high-speed DDR5 performance through the new T-Create series.
The company says CAMM2 features a revolutionary design that offers significant advantages over traditional memory types such as SO-DIMM, U-DIMM and R-DIMM. Only one module is needed to support dual-channel operation, simplifying system architecture and reducing power consumption.
The built-in client clock driver (CKD) improves signal integrity, making CAMM2 ideal for slim notebooks, while its optimized thermal design enhances heat dissipation, enabling higher performance despite the smaller form factor. .
CAMM2 compatible motherboards are very scarce
The T-Create CAMM2 module is designed with DDR5-7200 specifications and CAS latency of CL34-42-42-84, providing excellent read, write and copy speeds of up to 117GB/s, 108GB/s and 106GB/s, respectively.
This performance is achieved through manual overclocking, which reduces latency to 55 nanoseconds, a significant reduction compared to typical DDR5 JEDEC specifications. TeamGroup is now focused on pushing the boundaries, and the company says it’s working towards even faster speeds, with the goal of reaching DDR5-8000 and even DDR5-9000 in future iterations.
A major setback for 10Rubidium Group is the supply of CAMM2-compatible motherboards, which are currently in limited supply. T-Create CAMM2 memory tested MSI IndexThe Z790 Project Zero is one of the few motherboards currently compatible with this new form factor.
Other brands, such as Gigabyte, have hinted at possible CAMM2-enabled designs, such as the upcoming TACHYON board. However, the CAMM2 ecosystem is still emerging, and widespread adoption may depend on the release of more compatible boards and competitive pricing.
Nonetheless, Team Group is expected to launch the first-generation T-Create CAMM2 module in the first quarter of 2025, and may gain wider motherboard support as the manufacturer launches new CPU platforms. and AMD and Intel There are rumors of a budget-friendly announcement CPU At CES 2025, the launch of mid-range motherboards compatible with CAMM2 may be consistent with Tentungsten’s release plan, which may help CAMM2 gain a foothold in the market.
CAMM2 offers several advantages over the widely used SO-DIMM, UDIMM and RDIMM standards. It is worth noting that the CAMM2 module operates in dual-channel mode and only occupies one physical slot. In addition, they incorporate a Client Clock Driver (CKD), similar to CUDIMM memory, which enhances high-speed signal integrity for more reliable and faster memory performance.
These features make CAMM2 particularly attractive for laptops, which are often limited by current SO-DIMM speeds or non-upgradeable LPDDR5/5X options.
