Samsung Electronics has just announced its latest LPDDR5X DRAM. The company is the first in the industry to develop the next generation memory module that is faster and more efficient over the previous generation.
The South Korean tech giant unveiled its latest LPDDR5X DRAM earlier today (9th November 2021) and it is the first memory module in the industry to be based on the 14nm process. Furthermore, the memory is a 16 gigabit Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM that will be featured in upcoming flagship grade smartphones that are set to launch next year. Previously, we had even reported on Xiaomi 12 being equipped with LPDDR5X memory along with the next gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 SoC.
Apart from smartphones, the company’s latest DRAM will also has applications in high speed data service applications including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse. SangJoon Hwang, Senior Vice President and Head of Samsung’s DRAM Design Team, stated that “In recent years, hyper connected market segments such as AI, augmented reality (AR) and the metaverse, which rely on extremely fast large-scale data processing, have been rapidly expanding.”
He further added that “Our LPDDR5X will broaden the use of high-performance, low power memory beyond smartphones and bring new capabilities to AI-based edge applications like servers and even automobiles.” Notably, the company’s LPDDR5X will offer over 1.3x faster processing speed while consuming nearly 20 percent lower power than the previous LPDDR5 solution, which should benefit the upcoming smartphone generations.
