Samsung Electronics began producing large volumes of the first 12GB LPDDR5 DRAM memory for the most advanced smartphones

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in advanced memory technologies, has announced that it has begun producing large volumes of the first 12GB DRAM (LPDDR5) memory, optimized to unlock 5G Network and Artificial Intelligence features in the world. future smart phones. The new memory comes just five months after intensive production of the 12GB LPDDR4X, which enriches the company's portfolio of first clbad memories. Samsung plans to launch significant production of 12Gb LPDDR5 packs by the end of the month, each with eight 12Gb chips, in line with growing demand from more advanced smartphone manufacturers for better performance and greater capacity.

"We are delighted with the mbadive production of 12GB LPDDR5 memory based on the latest 10-nanometer second generation clbad operations," said Jong Bai, deputy general manager of DRAM Technology and Products, Samsung Electronics, nm) for Samsung We will support the launch of 5G smartphones for our worldwide customers on schedule. Samsung will remain committed to the continued release of next-generation mobile memory technologies, which will provide better performance and increased capacity while pursuing our goal of growing in the high-quality memory market. "

Samsung's new DRAM memory will enable next-generation smartphones to take full advantage of 5G features and artificial intelligence, such as high-quality video recording and automated learning, while greatly extending the life of the battery. This area and its energy efficient consumption.

With data rates up to 5500 Mbps, the 12GB LPDDR5 is about 1.3 times faster than its previous model (LPDDR4X, 4266 Mb / s) in the best smartphones available on the market. When you combine LPDDR5 in a 12GB package, you can transfer 44GB of data or 12 high quality movies (3.7GB size) in just one second. The new chip consumes up to 30% less energy than its predecessor by incorporating a new circuit design improving synchronization and learning as well as a low-power feature ensuring performance stable, even if the device runs at high speed.

Samsung is currently considering the transfer of its 12GB LPDDR5 memory to its Pyeongtaek, Korea, base from next year, with the aim of managing its production capacity in a more flexible way, depending on the demand for its customers around the world. Following the launch of the 12 Gb LPDDR5 mobile DRAM, the company also plans to begin developing the 16 Gb LPDDR5 to further strengthen its competitiveness in the global memory market.
