We started seeing 12 GB RAM modules on mobile phones in 2018 and Samsung seems intentioned not to waste time with their production. The Korean giant started mass producing 12GB LPDDR4X DRAM modules thought for flagship smartphones with the most advanced hardware and technologies. The new modules are meant to be used on devices which support the most revolutionary technologies in the mobile sector, such as camera modules with several sensors, 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence and more. The modules are built with a 10 nm-class (1y-nm) production process and they will come with a data transfer rate up to 34.1 GB per second.
Another advantage of the new 12 GB LPDDR4X RAM modules which just entered mass production is the lower power consumption: they will be a lot more power efficient. Samsung also reduced the thickness of its modules: the new ones are just 1.1 mm thin and this allows to save space in order to provide bigger batteries and a better design for flagship phones. Thanks to the new modules, users will benefit from better performances in multi-tasking and a faster search response. Before these modules, Samsung also started mass producing eUFS 3.0 storage with capacities up to 512 GB, that is another great innovation in the mobile sector and it represents a further improvement to performances.
The 12 GB LPDDR4X RAM modules were projected with a combination of six 16-gigabit LPDDR4X chips into a single unit. Besides starting the mass production of the new modules, Samsung will increase the supply of these modules alongside 8 GB LPDDR4X DRAM modules by 300 percent in the second half of 2019 because it already predicts a strong demand for these chips. Do you think 12 GB RAM modules are useful on a mobile phone or the actual devices with up to 8 GB of RAM offer enough memory and storage for your needs?
