MSI introduces the advantages of CAMM2 DDR5 memory for desktop computers: faster speed, lower latency, and more novel design

According to news from this website on August 16, all major manufacturers have basically launched their own CAMM2 memory. For example, MSI, ASRock, and Asus also announced special Intel motherboards supporting CAMM2 memory at the Taipei Computex in June.

As desktop computers begin to support CAMM2 memory, MSI officially released a video today to introduce the advantages of this platform.

Compared with traditional SO-DIMM memory modules, CAMM2 memory has shorter traces, which brings higher signal integrity, faster speed, lower latency, cooler and newer design.

In addition, the advantage of CAMM2 is that it only needs to use one PMIC (each module in SO-DIMM has its own PMIC), thereby effectively reducing power consumption and heat generation, so it can be used without a heat sink (and its shape determines that it will not block the CPU's cooling air duct), and a single memory module can achieve dual-channel operation , thereby helping to reduce overall costs.

Of course, less heat does not mean that it does not heat up. For example, some manufacturers have provided some novel cooling solutions for CAMM2 DDR5 memory before, and even Bitspower showed a customized water block for CAMM2 memory, which is a bit exaggerated.

At the same time, motherboard manufacturers have also launched their own cooling solutions, such as MSI Z790 Project ZERO PLUS radiator (designed in cooperation with DIY-APE), ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 HERO BTF (passive cooling at room temperature) 8000 MT/s CAMM2 DDR5 memory temperature below 50℃), Gigabyte Taichi OC Formula CAMM2 design, etc.

Another advantage of CAMM2 is that its connector adopts a "replaceable" design. Current motherboards must be returned to the factory for repair as long as the SO-DIMM memory slot is crooked or damaged (violent removal and insertion is not recommended), while CAMM2 memory only needs to be replaced with a new connector (compatible with all motherboards and platforms).

デスクトップコンピュータで使用されるCAMM2メモリはデュアルチャネル設計を採用していることは言及する価値がありますが、メモリは平らに取り付けられているため、1つのメモリでデュアルチャネル構成を実現できます。 , そのため背面も放熱性を確保する必要があります。

CAMM2の登場なのでSO と同様 - DIMM メモリが異なるため、マザーボードも再設計する必要があり、マザーボード上で少し広く見えるようになります。同時に、24 ピン コネクタがマザーボードの隣ではなく上部に移動されました。先ほどと同様に DIMM スロットに差し込みます。

CAMM2 メモリはまだ初期の製品であるため、この段階ではまだ非常に高価で購入が難しく、取り付けは少し複雑になります (M.2 ハード ドライブを参照してください。ネジで固定できます）が、JEDEC とそのパートナーはすでに工具を使わない分解と組み立ての設計に取り組んでいます。

ついにMSIもDDR5を披露-Z790 PROJECT PLUS マザーボード上で動作する 7200 CAMM2 メモリは、(LP) DDR6 規格に基づく CAMM2 メモリが 2026 年に登場すると予測されています。
