Samsung has officially announced its latest LPDDR5X RAM with the fastest speed of 8.5 gigabits per second (Gbps). The DRAM used in the testing was an 8GB package on Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon platform.
The company achieved a maximum speed of 7.5 Gbps on LPDDR5X DRAM back in March. Now the company managed to surpass the maximum speed to make LPDDR5X DRAM even better.
If we compare the speed of LPDDR5X with previous generation DRAMs, LPDDR5 offers 6.4Gpbs and LPDDR4X offered 4.2Gbps.
“The joint validation of 8.5Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM has enabled us to accelerate market-wide availability of this high-speed memory interface by more than a year, which is a tremendous accomplishment made possible through our long-standing collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies,” said Daniel Lee, Executive Vice President of the Memory Product Planning Team at Samsung Electronics.
LPDDR5X is similar to LPDDR5 and keeps the same prefetch and 16-bit bus width, but improves speed while minimizing the latency.
Demand for LPDDR DRAMs is increasing in automotive, servers, and high-performance computing applications. Samsung claims that it has also applied its own proprietary design that helped the company in improving input/output signals and also minimize the noise between the memory chip and the processor.
