Goodbye, SO-DIMM: Memory overseer JEDEC will formally adopt the \u201cCAMM Common Spec\u201d as the next RAM module standard for laptops.<\/p>\n
JEDEC, the memory group that homologates RAM standards, is in the process of hammering out the new spec to replace the basic SO-DIMMs that have been in use for 25 years, according to JEDEC committee member, and Dell Senior Distinguished Engineer Tom Schnell.<\/p>\n
Schnell actually created the original CAMM\u2014or Compression Attached Memory Module\u2014design for Dell last year. JEDEC’s CAMM standard will be based on that CAMM design but is likely to be somewhat different as companies hammer it out.<\/p>\n
While the adoption of new hardware standards can be fraught, with hand-wringing, foot-dragging, and all the friction of a negotiation among co-workers over where to get lunch, JEDEC seems to have managed it fairly easily.<\/p>\n
