LPDDR5X, equipped in high-performance phones and PCs
Speed and power consumption improved by more than 25%
“Will lead the AI smartphone market”,
, ‘Samsung Electronics has successfully verified the operation of the 7th generation low-power DRAM ‘LPDDR5X (pictured)’ optimized for on-device artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time in the industry. LPDDR5 DRAM, which is used in high-performance smartphones and PCs, has emerged as a new battleground product in the semiconductor industry following high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI accelerators.’,
,
, ‘Samsung Electronics announced on the 16th that it has completed the operation verification (checking if reading and writing are performed normally) of 16GB LPDDR5X, applied to MediaTek’s latest mobile application processor (AP) ‘Dimensity 9400,’ to be released in the second half of this year.’,
,
, ‘In April, Samsung Electronics developed LPDDR5X, which can process data at the industry’s highest speed of 10.7Gbps (gigabits per second). It has improved the operating speed and power consumption by more than 25% compared to the previous generation. Users can use the battery longer and run high-performance AI even without an internet connection.’,
,
, ‘The first two letters in LPDDR stand for Low Power. LPDDR consumes less power than conventional DDR and is mainly installed in mobile products. Since succeeding in mass-producing 12GB LPDDR5 in July 2019, Samsung Electronics has been realizing the industry’s highest operating speeds one after another.’,
,
, ‘Samsung Electronics is focusing on developing LPDDR because of the increasing demand for mobile DRAM with the release of AI smartphones, AI PCs, and other AI products. According to market research firm Omida, the global mobile DRAM market is expected to grow to nearly double from $12.3 billion (approximately 17 trillion won) in 2021 to $26.3 billion (approximately 36 trillion won) in 2028. The range of applications is also expanding as products using LPDDR instead of high-bandwidth memory (HB) based AI accelerators are being released.’,
,
, ‘JC So, Senior Vice President of MediaTek, said, “By applying Samsung Electronics’ high-performance 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X to MediaTek’s next-generation high-performance processor, we have succeeded in operation verification for the first time in the industry,” and “Users will be able to maximize battery performance and make use of more AI functions in the future.” Baek Yong-cheol, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Memory Business Planning Division, said, “Through organic collaboration with customers, we will lead the AI smartphone market by providing solutions suitable for the on-device AI era.”‘,
