Industry-leading features deliver 25% more performance, 30% more capacity, and 25% more power efficiency
The new LPDDR5X is the perfect solution for future on-device applications and is expected to expand into PCs, accelerators, servers, and automotive.
Samsung Electronics, a global leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has developed the industry's first LPDDR5X DRAM that supports industry-leading performance up to 10.7 gigabits per second (Gbps).
Samsung leverages 12 nanometer (nm) class process technology to achieve the smallest chip size among existing LPDDRs, solidifying its technological leadership in the low-power DRAM market.
“As the demand for low-power, high-performance memory increases, LPDDR DRAM is expanding its applications from primarily mobile to other areas that traditionally require higher performance and reliability, such as PCs, accelerators, servers, and automobiles. It is expected to expand,” YongCheol Bae said. Vice President in charge of memory product planning for Samsung Electronics' memory business. “Samsung will continue to work closely with our customers to innovate and deliver products optimized for the upcoming on-device AI era.”
With the proliferation of AI applications, on-device AI that enables processing directly on the device is becoming increasingly important, highlighting the need for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory.
Samsung's 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X not only improves performance by more than 25% and capacity by more than 30% compared to the previous generation, but also expands the single package capacity of mobile DRAM up to 32 gigabytes (GB), providing optimal Realizing mobile DRAM. Solutions for the on-device AI era that require high performance, high capacity, and low power memory.
In particular, LPDDR5X incorporates special power-saving technologies such as optimized power variation to adjust power according to workload and extended low-power mode intervals to extend energy-saving periods. These improvements deliver a 25% increase in power efficiency compared to previous generations, extending battery life for mobile devices and helping servers use less energy when processing data to minimize total cost of ownership (TCO). can be suppressed to
Volume production of the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X is expected to begin by the second half of this year, following validation by mobile application processors (APs) and mobile device providers.
