Driven by the burgeoning demand for AI applications, the necessity for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory for on-device AI processing has become paramount. Samsung’s LPDDR5X at 10.7Gbps promises a performance boost of over 25% and a capacity increase of more than 30% compared to its predecessor.
This advancement significantly expands the single package capacity of mobile DRAM to 32 gigabytes (GB), making it an ideal choice for the era of on-device AI. As the importance of on-device AI continues to rise, requiring direct processing on devices, the need for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory becomes increasingly crucial.
The LPDDR5X integrates specialized power-saving technologies, including optimized power variation and extended low-power mode intervals, resulting in a 25% improvement in power efficiency over previous generations. This enhancement not only extends battery life for mobile devices but also reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) for servers by minimizing energy consumption during data processing.
Mass production of the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X is set to begin in the latter half of the year, following validation with mobile application processor (AP) and mobile device manufacturers.
