#Samsung 12Gb RAM

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has begun mass producing the industry's first 12-gigabit (Gb) LPDDR5 mobile DRAM, as well as its plans to mass-produce 12-gigabyte (GB) LPDDR5 packages. The new 12Gb LPDDR5 mobile DRAM is designed for premium flagship smartphones with 5G connectivity and AI features, and is built on Samsung’s latest 2nd-gen 10-nanometer (nm) class process. Samsung also announced that it will start mass-producing 12-gigabyte (GB) LPDDR5 packages later this month, combining eight of the 12Gb chips. At least that’s what Samsung had in mind when the company announced that the mass production of the industry’s first 12-gigabit LPDDR4 mobile DRAM has begun. Samsung’s new RAM module is based on the company’s 20-nanometer manufacturing process, and is a notable step up on its existing 8Gb DRAM chips. This new DRAM chip, in turn, would allow the South Korean firm to come up with a 3GB DRAM by combing two of this 12Gb LPDDR4 RAM modules or, at the most, 6GB DRAM by combining four of these modules in one package. Samsung was also keen to point out that apart from offering the largest capacity, their new LPDDR4 RAM modules are a third faster than their existing 8Gb LPDDR4 offering, yet consumes 20% less energy.
