Samsung has launched the industry's first LPDDR5X DRAM with speeds of up to 10.7 Gbps, setting a new industry benchmark.
The use of cutting-edge 12-nanometer (nm)-class process technology has enabled Samsung to deliver not only the highest performance metrics but also the smallest chip size among existing low-power double data rate (LPDDR) products.
“As demand for low-power, high-performance memory increases, we expect LPDDR DRAM applications to expand from primarily mobile to other areas that traditionally require higher performance and reliability, such as PCs, accelerators, servers and automotive,” said YongCheol Bae, executive vice president of memory product planning at Samsung.
Bae further promised that Samsung will continue its trajectory of innovation by focusing on delivering products aligned with the coming on-device AI era through strategic collaborations with partners.
On-device AI capabilities are becoming an increasingly important consideration, a shift that highlights the need for low power, high performance memory solutions such as LPDDR.
Samsung's new 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X not only delivers over 25% performance improvement and over 30% capacity increase compared to the previous generation, but also provides an ideal solution for high-capacity, high-performance and energy-efficient memory requirements to meet the evolving demands of on-device AI. Single package capacity of mobile DRAM is expanded up to 32 gigabytes, marking a significant milestone for mobile and on-device AI applications.
Additionally, LPDDR5X incorporates advanced power saving techniques, including optimized power scaling, which dynamically adjusts energy usage based on workload, and extended low power mode intervals for longer power saving periods. These enhancements not only improve power efficiency by 25% over the previous generation, extending battery life for mobile devices, but also reducing energy consumption for servers, lowering total cost of ownership.
Samsung plans to begin mass production of 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X by the second half of 2024 after going through a comprehensive validation process with mobile application processor (AP) and mobile device manufacturers.
