Samsung LPDDR5 16GB DRAM

Samsung has begun mass producing 16GB LPDDR5 mobile DRAM package for smartphones.

Data transfer rate for the 16GB LPDDR5 comes in at 5,500 megabits per second (Mb/s), approximately 1.3 times faster than the previous mobile memory (LPDDR4X, 4266Mb/s).

Compared to an 8GB LPDDR4X package, the new mobile DRAM delivers more than 20-percent energy savings while providing up to twice the capacity.

The device consists of eight 12Gb chips and four 8Gb chips, equipping smartphones with twice the DRAM capacity found in many laptops and gaming PCs today.

The memory  supports dynamic and responsive gameplay as well as ultra-high-resolution graphics on premium smartphones for  immersive mobile gaming experiences.

As Samsung continues to expand LPDDR5 mobile DRAM production at its Pyeongtaek site, the company plans to mass-produce 16Gb LPDDR5 products based on third-generation 10nm-class (1z) process technology in the second half of this year, in line with the development of a 6,400Mb/s chipset.
