Insights
Micron begins customer sampling of 192GB SOCAMM2, claiming higher capacity and material power efficiency gains for AI data centers.
Micron is shipping customer samples of 192GB SOCAMM2 as of
The business mechanism is straightforward: higher per-module capacity and lower power per bit can lower system-level memory count and energy consumption in AI servers. Key dependencies include actual customer integration, interoperability with server platforms, and timing of high-volume production tied to customer launch schedules. Concrete items to watch near-term are customer sampling feedback, announced customer designs or qualifications, and alignment of high-volume production to those launch schedules; these factors will clarify whether the claimed capacity and
192GB SOCAMM2, built with LPDDR5X, extends Micron’s leadership in power-efficient solutions for AI infrastructure
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an era of unprecedented AI innovation and growth, the entire data center ecosystem is transforming toward more energy-efficient infrastructure to support sustainable growth.

Building on a five-year collaboration with NVIDIA, Micron pioneered the use of low-power server memory in the data center. SOCAMM2 delivers LPDDR5X’s inherent advantages — exceptionally low power consumption and high bandwidth — to the main memory of AI systems. Designed to meet the evolving demands of massive-context AI platforms, SOCAMM2 provides the high data throughput required for AI workloads while delivering new levels of energy efficiency, setting a new standard for AI training and inference systems. This combination of advantages will make SOCAMM2 a key memory solution for leading-edge AI platforms in the years ahead.
“As AI workloads become more complex and demanding, data center servers must achieve increased efficiency, delivering more tokens for every watt of power,” said Raj Narasimhan, senior vice president and general manager of Micron’s Cloud Memory Business Unit. “Micron’s proven leadership in low-power DRAM ensures our SOCAMM2 modules provide the data throughput, energy efficiency, capacity and data center-class quality essential to powering the next generation of AI data center servers.”
Through specialized design features and enhanced testing, Micron SOCAMM2 products transform low-power DRAM, initially designed for mobile phones, into data center-class solutions. Extensive experience in high-quality data center DDR memory helps Micron ensure that SOCAMM2 meets the stringent quality and reliability requirements of our data center customers.
SOCAMM2 improves power efficiency by more than two-thirds4 compared with equivalent RDIMMs, while packing its performance into a module one-third the size5, optimizing data center footprint and maximizing capacity and bandwidth. SOCAMM’s modular design and innovative stacking technology improves serviceability and aids the design of liquid-cooled servers.
Micron has been an active participant in the JEDEC SOCAMM2 specification definition and is working closely with industry partners to drive standards that will accelerate low-power adoption in AI data centers to improve power efficiency across the entire industry. SOCAMM2 customer samples are shipping now in capacities up to 192GB per module and speeds up to 9.6 Gbps, with high-volume production aligned to customer launch schedules.
