With the burgeoning adoption of AI applications, the significance of on-device AI, facilitating direct processing on devices, has surged. Hence, the imperative for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory has never been more pronounced.
Samsung’s groundbreaking 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X sets new benchmarks, enhancing performance by over 25% and bolstering capacity by more than 30% compared to its predecessors. Furthermore, it elevates the single package capacity of mobile DRAM up to 32-gigabytes (GB), positioning it as the quintessential solution for the on-device AI era, characterized by the imperative for high-performance, high-capacity, and low-power memory.
Notably, the LPDDR5X integrates specialized power-saving mechanisms, including optimized power variation and expanded low-power mode intervals. These enhancements augment power efficiency by 25% vis-à-vis the previous generation, facilitating extended battery life for mobile devices and enabling servers to curtail the total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing energy consumption during data processing.
Scheduled for mass production in the second half of the year, following rigorous verification with mobile application processor (AP) and mobile device providers, the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X heralds a new era of innovation and efficiency in memory technology, underlining Samsung’s unwavering commitment to driving progress in the digital landscape.
