Micron is shipping its first LPCAMM2 modules out, and they're now available to buy individually or within the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.

A new form of upgradeable laptop memory has been rolled out within a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. This new memory format, LPCAMM2, offers upgradeability and efficiency in a compact form factor, which means it can be used more widely in laptops that might usually have non-replaceable, soldered memory inside them.

Micron is claiming the first LPCAMM2 memory modules on the market, available to buy separately for a reasonable sum of $330 from the Crucial website or dropped into the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 workstation laptop.

LPCAMM2 is the carrier for high-performance memory chips, in a set format that more laptops are expected to adopt with time. These first LPCAMM2 modules are fitted with LPDDR5X with speeds up to 7,500 MT/s.

Micron's LPCAMM2 modules will initially be available in 32GB and 64GB densities. That's going to be a generous amount of memory for any laptop, though we're unlikely to see it roll out in budget models any time soon. The addition of a new socket and redesigning motherboards for LPCAMM2 is likely to ramp up costs, though Micron remains convinced that LPCAMM2 could end up being the more affordable option for high-performance laptop memory in the long run.
