Samsung reveals LPDDR5x RAM likely to end up in the Galaxy S23 range
Samsung has verified that it has achieved transfer speeds of 8.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) via 14-nanometer (nm) LPDDR5X DRAM on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform, a combination that is likely to find its way into the future. hybrid Samsung Galaxy S23 The range is expected to be announced in 2023.
The Korean electronics giant claims this gives it the fastest transfer speeds available in the mobile industry.
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) is a type of semiconductor memory located near the processor that can provide faster data access than storage media such as hard disk and solid state drive (opens in a new tab).
What does this mean for consumers?
Earlier, Samsung set a record when it said its LPDDR5X DRAM, released in November 2021, is expected to support high-speed data service applications including 5G, artificial intelligence create (AI) and metaverse.
“Joint validation of the 8.5Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM has allowed us to accelerate the market availability of this high-speed memory interface for more than a year, a huge achievement made possible by the partnership.” our long-term partnership with Qualcomm Technologies,” said Daniel Lee, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning Group at Samsung Electronics.
“As LPDDR memory continues to expand its use beyond smartphones to AI and data center applications, close collaboration between memory vendors and SoCs becomes more and more important. ,” he added.
The integration will “enhance the user experience with new features and improve performance for mobile, gaming, camera and mobile applications,” said Ziad Asghar, Vice President of Product Management at Qualcomm. WHO”.
This is not the first time Samsung has broken its own record, it has already passed The previous maximum transfer rate was 7.5Gbps which it achieved in (opens in a new tab)March 2022. (opens in a new tab)
The close relationship between the two hardware giants could benefit Samsung. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors remain one of the most popular in the mobile industry, with the brand controlling about 29% of the mobile processor market, down from the 39% held by Mediatek. held, but much higher than the 14% owned by Apple.
