Utilizing 12 nanometer (nm) class process technology, it is said to be the smallest chip size among existing LPDDRs and solidifies Samung's technological leadership in the low-power DRAM market.
“As the demand for low-power, high-performance memory increases, LPDDR DRAM is expanding from primarily mobile applications to other fields that require higher performance and reliability than traditional, such as PCs, accelerators, servers, and automobiles. We expect its applications to expand.'' said YongCheol Bae. 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.”
The proliferation of AI applications has increased the importance of on-device AI that enables processing directly on the device, highlighting the need for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory.
Samsung's 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X can improve performance by more than 25% and capacity by more than 30% compared to the previous generation, while expanding the single package capacity of mobile DRAM up to 32 gigabytes (GB). The era of on-device AI requires high performance, large capacity, and low power consumption memory.
LPDDR5X also 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.
