Crucial Brings Up To 64 GB Capacities & 8533 MT/s Speeds To Laptops With LPCAMM2 Memory Solution
Micron Technology has announced a major step forward in mobile memory innovation with the launch of its latest Crucial LPCAMM2 modules, now reaching speeds of up to 8,533 MT/s and offering capacities of up to 64 GB. This enhancement further cements Crucial’s position at the forefront of standards-based compact memory designed for the new generation of AI-ready laptops and mobile workstations.
According to Micron’s press release, the Crucial LPCAMM2 form factor delivers 1.5x faster performance and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional DDR5 SODIMMs, while being less than half their size. By combining the benefits of Micron’s industry-leading LPDDR5X mobile memory with a replaceable, upgradeable module, LPCAMM2 addresses one of the long-standing issues of soldered LPDDR memory: lack of serviceability.
The new LPCAMM2 lineup provides users with memory modules capable of handling real-time AI workloads, data-heavy applications, and complex simulations, all within a compact and power-efficient footprint. Micron emphasizes that these modules are particularly well-suited for AI developers, creators, and mobile professionals who need reliable high-speed performance for multitasking, rendering, and managing large datasets.
In everyday productivity scenarios such as web browsing, video conferencing, and content creation, Crucial LPCAMM2 shows measurable advantages over DDR5 SODIMMs, delivering higher responsiveness and reduced latency. At the same time, its smaller footprint and lower power requirements support longer battery life, making it ideal for on-the-go users.
Sustainability is another cornerstone of the LPCAMM2 design. By enabling users to upgrade, repair, and extend the lifespan of their laptops, the modules reduce e-waste and contribute to a more sustainable IT strategy. This balance of high-end performance and eco-conscious design reflects a broader trend in the PC industry toward modularity and long-term serviceability.
The LPCAMM2 standard was created in close collaboration with leading PC OEMs and ecosystem partners, ensuring seamless integration into next-generation AI PCs. This cooperative development helped shape a form factor that meets the evolving demands of modern mobile computing, offering a practical upgrade path while keeping performance and power efficiency in line with future workloads.
At launch, Crucial LPCAMM2 is compatible with next-gen mobile AI workstations from Lenovo and Dell, with broader adoption expected as more laptop manufacturers adopt the standard across their product lines.
Crucial’s new LPCAMM2 modules are now available worldwide through select e-tailers, retailers, and channel partners. Pricing is as follows:
32 GB LPCAMM2 Module (8533 MT/s): $232.99 US
64 GB LPCAMM2 Module (8533 MT/s): $451.99 US
With these additions, Micron’s Crucial brand is ensuring that AI-ready laptops can deliver both cutting-edge speed and the flexibility of user upgrades—something traditional soldered LPDDR solutions have never been able to provide.
💬 Do you think LPCAMM2 will become the new industry standard for laptop memory, replacing both SODIMMs and soldered LPDDR solutions?
