Samsung has developed a new generation of Lpddr5x dram modules. The memory modules achieve a speed of 10.7 Gbit/s and use 25 percent less energy. The South Korean company will start mass production in the second half of 2024.
Samsung writes in a press release that the new generation of Lpddr5x dram modules will be baked using a 12nm process. The new modules are said to be 25 percent faster than the previous generation Lpddr5x memory modules, which could reach a speed of 8.5 Gbit/s. That generation was presented at the end of 2022. The company mentions that the memory capacity of a single module has been expanded to a maximum of 32GB. According to Samsung, this would also make the modules more suitable for AI applications.
The new generation Lpddr5x dram modules are said to use up to 25 percent less energy than those of the previous generation. Samsung has reportedly achieved this by incorporating some energy saving measures. For example, the modules could adapt their power consumption according to the workload, and the energy saving mode would be extended. The company says it will begin mass production of the modules from the second half of 2024. It is not clear when the first devices with the new Lpddr5x dram modules will come onto the market.
