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 for use in high-speed data service applications including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse. In 2018, Samsung had introduced the industry’s first 8GB LPDDR5 DRAM.
According to the company, its 16GB LPDDR5X DRAM is a next-generation mobile DRAM designed to significantly boost speed, capacity and power savings for future 5G applications.
The South Korean tech giant claims that 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. Leveraging the industry’s 14nm DRAM process technology, it will also use around 20% less power than LPDDR5 memory, claimed the company. In addition, the 16Gb LPDDR5X chip will enable up to 64 gigabytes (GB) per memory package, to satiate the rising demands for higher-capacity mobile DRAM worldwide.
“In recent years, hyperconnected market segments such as AI, augmented reality (AR) and the metaverse, which rely on extremely fast large-scale data processing, have been rapidly expanding,” said SangJoon Hwang, senior vice president and head of the DRAM design team at Samsung Electronics.
“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.”, added the senior vice president of DRAM design team.
