#LPDDR5X

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has developed the industry’s first 14-nanometer (nm) based 16-gigabit (Gb) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM. According to Samsung, the LPDDR5X DRAM is designed to drive further growth throughout the high-speed data service applications including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and the metaverse. “Our LPDDR5X will broaden the use of high-performance, low-power memory beyond smartphones and bring new capabilities to AI-based edge applications like servers and even automobiles.” Moreover, Samsung's LPDDR5X is a next-generation mobile DRAM designed to significantly boost speed, capacity, and power savings for future 5G applications. To recall, in 2018, the company delivered the industry’s first 8Gb LPDDR5 DRAM and now, Samsung is moving beyond mobile markets with the first 16Gb LPDDR5X DRAM. Furthermore, the LPDDR5X DRAM will offer data processing speeds of up to 8.5 gigabits per second (Gbps), which are over 1.3 times faster than LPDDR5’s 6.4Gbps. In addition, the 16GB LPDDR5X chip will enable up to 64 gigabytes (GB) per memory package, accommodating increasing demand for higher-capacity mobile DRAM globally. Additionally, the Snapdragon 8s has the same TSMC 4nm manufacturing process, FastConnect 7800 connectivity, and LPDDR5X RAM support.
