Samsung Boosts LPDDR5X To 10.7 Gbps, Fastest In The Market & Now In 32 GB Capacities Per Package

Samsung has unveiled the industry's fastest LPDDR5X memory solution rated at up to 10.7 Gbps speeds with increased capacities of up to 32 GB.

The announcement comes just a few days after Micron announced its slightly tuned LPDDR5X memory which now offers 4% power savings. Samsung seems to have one up'd the industry in almost all regards with its new LPDDR5X solutions offering faster speeds, higher capacities, and bigger power savings. Samsung first announced its LPDDR5X memory with speeds of 7.5 Gbps & saw incremental gains with 8.5 Gbps and 9.6 Gbps solutions. Now, Samsung is the first to break past the 10 Gbps barrier when it comes to the LPDDR standard.

Press Release: Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has developed the industry’s first LPDDR5X DRAM supporting the industry’s highest performance of up to 10.7 gigabits-per-second (Gbps).

Leveraging 12 nanometer (nm)-class process technology, Samsung has achieved the smallest chip size among existing LPDDRs, solidifying its technological leadership in the low-power DRAM market.

With the surge in AI applications, on-device AI, which enables direct processing on devices, is becoming increasingly crucial, underscoring the need for low-power, high-performance LPDDR memory.

Samsung’s 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X not only improves performance by more than 25% and capacity by more than 30%, compared to the previous generation but also expands the single package capacity of mobile DRAM up to 32-gigabytes (GB), making it an optimal solution for the on-device AI era that requires high-performance, high-capacity, and low-power memory.

In particular, the LPDDR5X incorporates specialized power-saving technologies such as optimized power variation that adjusts power according to workload and expanded low-power mode intervals which extend energy-saving periods. These improvements enhance power efficiency by 25% over the previous generation, enabling mobile devices to provide longer battery life and allowing servers to minimize total cost of ownership (TCO) by lowering energy usage when processing data.

Mass production of the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X is scheduled to begin by the second half of the year, following verification with mobile application processors (AP) and mobile device providers.
