Samsung has announced its fastest memory option ever. The company says its new chip will power the latest and greatest AI services across both mobile and laptops.
The tech giant on Wednesday unveiled its first 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM. Samsung said the chip will outperform any other memory option on the market. It uses a 12nm process, making it the smallest chip size to ever support that much memory. It also delivers serious performance upgrades.
“Samsung’s 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X not only improves performance by more than 25 percent and capacity by more than 30 percent, compared to the previous generation, but also expands the single package capacity of mobile DRAM up to 32-gigabytes,” Samsung said in a statement.
That said, it likely won’t be long before the memory makes its way to several popular smartphones. Samsung, for instance, has been working hard to bake AI into its flagship handsets and may use the new memory in upcoming launches to power a better AI experience. With reports swirling that Apple is planning on-device AI for upcoming iPhones, there seems to be a reasonable chance that the company could turn to Samsung’s chips for its own AI experience.
Whatever the case, we won’t need to wait long to see how the chip could be used. Samsung said that it plans to start mass production on the 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM by the second half of the year.
