Leveraging 12 nanometer (nm)-class process technology, Samsung
has achieved the smallest chip size among existing LPDDRs,
solidifying its technological leadership in the low-power DRAM
market.
"As 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," said YongCheol Bae, Executive Vice President of
Memory Product Planning of the Memory Business at Samsung
Electronics. "Samsung will continue to innovate and deliver
optimized products for the upcoming on-device AI era through close
collaboration with customers.”
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.
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), making it an optimal solution for the
on-device AI era that requires high-performance, high-capacity and
low-power memory.
In particular, 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 (TCO) by lowering energy usage
when processing data.
Mass production of the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X is scheduled to begin by
the second half of the year, following verification with mobile
application processor (AP) and mobile device providers.
