We’re gradually hearing about a new RAM format, the famous CAMM2. Among other things, it is designed to offer higher RAM density in a smaller footprint. Likewise, this format promises higher operating speeds, and G.Skill’s initial tests are rather encouraging.
G.Skill pushes CAMM2 to 10000 MT/s!
When we said that the results were encouraging, they are, since the 10000 MT/s frequency has been reached, and in a stable manner too. As for timings, a CL52 is mentioned in the press release, with a capacity of 64 GB. Everything was done in a stable manner, since the configuration was able to run a complete Memtest without a hitch. As for the platform, G.Skill turned to a platform from ASUS. Tests were conducted on a Maximus Z890 Hero modified to accommodate this new RAM format. As for the processor, we found a Core Ultra 7 265K.
The big question now is whether this format will become widespread. Pushing a new standard into the PC world is no easy task, quite the contrary. What’s more, this format is radically different from the DIMM memory found everywhere, in that it plugs into the motherboard via a kind of socket. A few screws are then needed to hold the RAM in place, as can be seen in the photo above. Finally, we can note that more and more manufacturers are pushing this format, notably MSI, which unveiled compatible Project Zero references. At Gigabyte’s Computex show, we saw a Tachyon C2 also designed to accommodate this type of memory.
