Guangzhou, March 03, 2022 -- Samsung announced today that Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.) has validated Samsung's 14 nanometer (nm) 16Gb low-power double data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM for Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon® mobile platform.
Since developing Samsung's first 14NM-based LPDDR5X DRAM in November last year, Samsung has worked closely with Qualcomm Technologies to optimize the 7.5 Gigabit per second (Gbps) LPDDR5X for the Snapdragon mobile platform. The LPDDR5X is 1.2 times faster than the LPDDR5 (6.4Gbps) in current high-end smartphones, and is expected to improve the performance of ultra-high-resolution video recording and artificial intelligence functions such as speech recognition, image recognition and natural language processing in the next generation of smartphones. In addition, the power consumption of the LPDDR5X can be reduced by approximately 20% by using advanced circuit design and Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS).
"The successful validation of the LPDDR5X solution on Qualcomm Technologies Inc's Snapdragon mobile platform is a testament to our advanced position in DRAM technology," said Jinman Han, executive vice president and head of global memory sales and marketing at Samsung Semiconductor. "We expect this application of high performance, low power memory to expand beyond smartphones to data centers, personal computers and automobiles, enabling a growing number of devices and systems to operate more efficiently."
"Qualcomm Technologies is an industry expert in enabling and adopting the latest LPDDR DRAM specifications. Ziad Asghar, Vice President of Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, said: "With LPDDR5X on Snapdragon platform, users can experience new features and improved performance through the latest AI engine combining various Qualcomm technologies to further enhance the mobile experience while using mobile games, cameras and applications."
In order to better meet the growing demand for high-end DRAM solutions, Samsung will continue to pursue the development of low-power DRAM products that offer higher performance and greater capacity to support continuously updated next-generation systems.
