Samsung has just announced the launch of its RAM LPDDR5X, low power DDR (Low Power DDR) used in particular in smartphones and tablets. The manufacturer is the first to release LPDDR5X modules since the standard was announced this summer.
These new chips, engraved in 14 nanometers, have a capacity of 2 gigabytes and can be combined into packages 64 gigabytes for the most demanding devices. LPDDR5X memory has a bandwidth of 8.5 gigabits per second (Gbps), a gain of speed by almost 33% compared to LPDDR5 (6.4 Gbps). It also benefits from a 20% reduction in consumption over the previous generation, and should thus improve the autonomy of mobile devices.
A memory also used for VR headsets, servers and cars
To promote its new product, the Korean firm does not hesitate to highlight other growing markets for this kind of memory, starting withartificial intelligence, in servers and the autonomous cars. Samsung also mentions the metaverse, since the virtual reality headsets or augmented autonomous use the LPDDR.
Industry experts believe that Samsung could include this new memory in its next Galaxy S22 smartphone. According to some rumors, the firm could announce the new mobile as early as February 2022. It remains to be seen whether such a timetable is plausible with the current shortage of semiconductors…
