LPCAMM 2 (Low Power Compression Attached Memory Module) is a new form factor for computer memories that reaches the market with the potential to replace current solutions. And it does not lack advantages, since it is promoted as the largest RAM memory update in 25 years.
The new generation of memory takes advantage of the benefits of modern memory like LPDDR5X, but in a modular way. In addition, it takes up 64% less space than a dual SO-DIMM stack, memory distributed based on modules. This form factor allows up to 16 DRAM components to be stacked in a single package, reducing memory architecture while improves performance by up to 50% and energy efficiency up to 70%.
Its adoption would offer future cost savingsgreater flexibility for OEM manufacturers when designing laptops that increasingly have to be thinner and lighter and also for customers, who would have the best interface in terms of performance, but with a solution that they could update when they needed more memory or higher speed.
LPCAMM 2 on Lenovo laptops
Lenovo has presented at the recent MWC 2026 an important renewal of its portfolio of business devices. Among them, the new ThinkPad T14 stands out, a business-class laptop with a 14.5-inch screen, options to use Intel Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” or AMD Ryzen AI PRO 400 “Gorgon Point” processors and with a design to make them easy to update in the future.
The keyboard, battery, ports and fans are designed to be easily replaceable and it is one of the first laptops on the market to include LPCAMM 2 memories. Two trends in laptop memory have consolidated in recent years. Many PC manufacturers have adopted LPDDR memory for thin and light laptops because they take up less space and consume less power than removable SODIMM memory. Furthermore, increased demand (without an increase in supply) has driven the Price of RAM to stratospheric heights.
Therefore, it is interesting that Lenovo has adopted removable storage for this business-grade laptop, which allows you to purchase the amount of memory you need when purchasing the ThinkPad T14 Gen 7, while also allowing you to expand it in the future. The company could also add compatibility with LPCAMM2 to more common laptops in the future and recently launched a ThinkBook brand laptop in China, supporting LPCAMM2 modules.
The ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 will be available in Europe next month starting at 1,399 euros. Other manufacturers are expected to join the launch of LPCAMM 2, the largest RAM upgrade in 25 years.
