These new chips, engraved in 14 nanometresnanometers, have a capacity of 2 gigabytes and can be combined in packages of 64 gigabytes for the most greedy devices. The LPDDR5X memory has a bandwidth of 8.5 gigabits per second (Gbps), a speed gain of almost 33% compared to LPDDR5 (6.4 Gbps). It also benefits from a 20% reduction in consumption compared to the previous generation, and should thus improve the autonomy of mobile devices.
A memory also used for VR headsets, servers and cars
To promote its new product, the Korean firm does not hesitate to highlight the other growing markets for this kind of memory, starting with artificial intelligence, in serversservers and autonomous carsautonomous cars.
