The relentless march of technology progress shows no signs of slowing, as Samsung has just unveiled an even faster iteration of its industry-leading LPDDR5X RAM. Hot on the heels of last year’s 9.6Gbps LPDDR5T from SK Hynix, Samsung’s new LPDDR5X chips can hit an astonishing 10.7Gbps data transfer speeds – a 25% jump over previous generations.
But the improvements aren’t just about raw speed. Samsung has also managed to increase memory capacity by 30%, now offering 32GB packages built on a cutting-edge 12nm class process. This allows for more compact, power-efficient chips – a crucial consideration for battery-powered mobile devices as well as data center servers grappling with ever-growing power bills. In fact, Samsung claims the new LPDDR5X can reduce power consumption by up to 25% compared to previous versions.
These advancements couldn’t come at a better time, as the insatiable appetite for memory from the latest AI and machine learning models continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible. With GPUs like Nvidia’s RTX 4090 limited to 24GB of VRAM, Samsung’s ultra-fast, high-capacity LPDDR5X RAM could prove transformative for powering the next generation of intelligent applications, both on the edge and in the cloud. The future of computing is heating up, and Samsung is leading the charge.
