The new LPDDR5X phone RAM offers 10.7 gigabits per second throughput, which is a 25% boost in performance, while at the same time shrinking its footprint by 30% so that up to 32 gigabytes can fit on a single package.
The fast and frugal LPDDR5X chips come to help with on-device AI
While this bodes well for the battery life of high-end phones that also need to do on-device AI processing, it remains to be seen which Samsung flagships will get the LPDDR5X goods first.
According to YongCheol Bae, the Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning of the Memory Business at Samsung Electronics:
Samsung will continue to innovate and deliver optimized products for the upcoming on-device AI era through close collaboration with customers. As demand for low-power, high-performance memory increases, LPDDR DRAM is expected to expand its applications from mainly mobile to other areas that traditionally require higher performance and reliability such as PCs, accelerators, servers and automobiles.
