The new LPDDR5X memory developed by Samsung is designed for PCs, accelerators, servers and cars. The company claims that this memory technology is 25% faster, offers 30% more capacity and is 25% more energy efficient than the previous generation. Samsung became the first in the world to release this type of memory with such a speed and a capacity of 32 GB.
According to Samsung, the new memory uses a 12 nm process, which made it possible to reduce the size of the LPDDR module, making it the smallest among existing solutions. This new memory technology meets the growing demand for low-power and high-performance memory chips. While the company’s primary focus is on the mobile market, Samsung’s executive vice president says it will also be used in servers, cars and accelerators, without specifying any specific devices.
The new memory will have a speed of 10.7 Gbit/s and will be available with a capacity of up to 32 GB per module. Devices that require large amounts of RAM, such as generative AI devices, will benefit from this capacity, which will simplify the storage of AI models. This will be especially important for systems that use APU/NPUS for generative artificial intelligence and do not have a discrete GPU, as the larger amount of memory allows for more advanced models to be stored.
Samsung also claims a 25% increase in energy efficiency compared to the previous generation, without specifying whether this comparison applies to LPDDR5 or LPDDR4. The company confirms that mass production of LPDDR5X-10700 memory will begin in the second half of this year, which will coincide with the expected release of next-generation chips from AMD and Intel.
