Anyone got that "standards" XKCD laying around? Not to be cynical but the first CAMM was only on a couple devices was it not?

Yes, BUT the first CAMM was proprietary to DELL. This is what came from them giving the standard to JEDEC. So not all hope is lost!
Then i shall remain hopeful :)
What that comic tells me is that everyone loves standards, as long as they're the ones controlling the standard.
I'm actually in favor of this one, it solves a bunch of the problems that have been leading mfgrs to solder memory directly to mainboards.
Edit: the removable CAMM connector is awesome too, the biggest problem with the v1 spec was the fragility of the pins. Anecdotally you could wreck a v1 connector with canned air so a replaceable connector is great news.
I can't get over the missed opportunity to call it CRAMM.
Man, I don't buy new hardware often, and only recently became familiar with M.2 NVMe. Which I thought was pretty spiffy.
I hate videos, so in I'm off to find an article; or maybe just have Ecosia's AI explain it for me.
Edit: I'm aware one's memory, the other's persistent storage. This replaces SODIMM, yah? Anyway, new specs.
Indeed. This is RAM and replaces SODIMM.
