Samsung Electronics, South Korea, a world leader in advanced memory technology, developed the industry\u2019s first LPDDR5X DRAM supporting the industry\u2019s highest performance of up to 10.7 gigabits-per-second (Gbps). The new LPDDR5X is the optimal solution for future on-device applications and is expected to expand adoption into PCs, accelerators, servers and automobiles.<\/p>\n
Leveraging 12 nanometer-class process technology, Samsung has achieved the smallest chip size among existing LPDDRs, solidifying its technological leadership in the low-power DRAM market.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs demand for low-power, high-performance memory increases, LPDDR DRAM is expected to expand its applications from mainly mobile to other areas that traditionally require higher performance and reliability such as PCs, accelerators, servers and automobiles,\u201d said YongCheol Bae, executive vice president of memory product planning of the memory business at Samsung Electronics. \u201cSamsung will continue to innovate and deliver optimized products for the upcoming on-device AI era through close collaboration with customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the surge in AI applications, on-device AI, which enables direct processing on devices, is becoming increasingly crucial, underscoring the need for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory.
\nSamsung\u2019s 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, making it an optimal solution for the on-device AI era that requires high-performance, high-capacity and low-power memory.<\/p>\n
The LPDDR5X incorporates specialized power-saving technologies such as optimized power variation that adjusts power according to workload and expanded low-power mode intervals which extend energy-saving periods. These improvements enhance power efficiency by 25% over the previous generation, enabling mobile devices to provide longer battery life and allowing servers to minimize total cost of ownership by lowering energy usage when processing data.<\/p>\n
Mass production of the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X is scheduled to begin by the second half of the year, following verification with mobile application processor and mobile device providers.<\/p>\n
