It is reported that Micron will start mass production of LPCAMM and MRDIMM memory modules in Xi'an factory

On August 30, Korean media etnews reported yesterday that Micron will take the lead in launching large-scale production of LPCAMM and MRDIMM memory modules in Xi'an, China.

The report quoted industry insiders as saying that Micron is promoting the introduction of module packaging and testing equipment required for mass production for Xi'an LPCAMM and MRDIMM production lines. However, Korean media said that the scale of production capacity is still unclear.

In addition to the Xi'an plant in China, Micron also plans to build LPCAMM and MRDIMM production lines at its Malaysian plant and plans to order related equipment this year. Micron's packaging plant under construction in India is also expected to have the production capacity of these two emerging memory modules after it goes into production.

The emergence of LPCAMM provides mobile devices using LPDDR with the possibility of replacing with larger capacity memory; and for products that traditionally use DDR SODIMM, they can also consider switching to LPDDR LPCAMM with better energy efficiency and speed.

MRDIMM can provide higher-speed memory for RDIMM-based servers, which can process more data in the same amount of time.

In general, LPCAMM and MRDIMM can improve the AI ​​performance of processors on both the device and server ends respectively, and will attract more and more demand under the general trend of AI development.

As for Micron's two major competitors, Samsung Electronics plans to mass-produce LPCAMM memory modules by 2024, while SK Hynix has not yet confirmed the mass production schedule for its MRDIMM products.
