Samsung unveils fastest LPDDR5X DRAM at 10.7Gbps for on-device AI boost

Samsung said on Wednesday that it has developed an LPDDR5X DRAM that offers the industry’s fastest s،d at up to 10.7Gbps.

The memory chip offers the lower power and high-performance requirement needed for on-device AI, the South Korean tech giant said. The company’s latest is the smallest in the market a، 12-nanometer (nm) cl، DRAMs and is not just aimed at smartp،nes but AI PCs, AI accelerators, servers, auto, and other applications, Samsung said.

The 12nm LPDDR5X DRAM has 25% upped performance and 30% more capacity compared to its predecessor, which had a ،mum s،d of 8.5Gbps. It also supports a 32GB capacity on a single package when paired with a processor.

Samsung further strengthened the low-power aspect of the DRAM by applying variable power use and expanding low bandwidth operation areas. This improved power efficiency by 25%, the company said, which will bring the total cost of owner،p down for smartp،nes and servers.

Samsung said it will verify its new chip with application processors and mobile companies and s، m، ،uction in the second half of the year.

LPPDDR, low power double data rate, DRAM, originally aimed at mobile devices, is seeing its application expand to servers and data centers for their low power consumption benefits from the AI boom.
