#16GB LPDDR5

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has begun mass producing the industry first's 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM for next-generation premium smartphones. While the current highest LPDDR5 RAM configuration is 12GB, Samsung notes that the additional memory will enable enhanced 5G and AI features. The new 16GB LPDDR5 consists of eight 12Gb chips and four 8Gb chips and is capable of transferring data at the rate of 5,500 Mb/s. Alongside the mass production of the 16GB LPDDR5 mobile DRAM, Samsung is also looking to mass-produce the 16Gb LPDDR5 products based on the 10nm-class (1z) manufacturing process. Samsung Electronics has announced that it has started shipping first third-gen 10nm-class (1z) EUV-based 16Gb LPDDR5 DRAM for next-gen smartphones. Mass production of the industry’s first 16-gigabit (Gb) LPDDR5 mobile DRAM, using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology has already started in Samsung's second production line in Pyeongtaek, Korea. The LPDDR5 DRAM is built on Samsung’s third-generation 10nm-class (1z) process. It boasts speeds of 6,400 Mb/s, which is about 16% faster than the 12Gb LPDDR5 (5,500Mb/s) found in most of today’s flagship mobile devices.
