The future of desktop PC memory?

Forward-looking:MSI is leading the push to bring CAMM2 memory to desktops.

Now, they’ve provided a deep dive into this potential game-changing tech.

CAMM was designed for laptops where physical real estate is at a premium.

It also affords some performance benefits thanks to the fact that the traces to the CPU are shorter.

CAMM2 improved upon the original idea, and brought several additional benefits to the table.

While not a huge change, it could make cable management a bit more challenging.

For all of its benefits, CAMM2 still has some shortcomings.

The module is also more difficult to swap out compared to traditional RAM sticks because of the mounting screws.
