He specifies that the CAMM will authorize a significant increase in the memory density of the kits and an increase in the operating frequencies. Logically, these two elements are likely to make the CAMM evolve well beyond what the SO-DIMM could ever achieve.
Tom Schnell also specifies that the support of JEDEC, the organization in charge of harmonizing formats, is only a matter of time. According to the Dell engineer, the CAMM 1.0 specifications will be validated in the second half of 2023.
While voices were raised against the arrival of a proprietary format, Tom Schnell refutes this point: “ Dell is a huge company, we don’t keep the lights on because we get royalties for a patent […]. We basically want to recoup the cost of inventing and implementing it. »
He also insists on the global side of the PC world: “ We’re part of the PC industry, and the PC industry is built on an ecosystem of partners [et] of suppliers who supply everything […]. Yes, Dell makes its own innovations in its systems, but we also incorporate many innovations from many people. »
