Samsung brings 6GB of DRAM to smartphones
Samsung today announced it's mass-producing the first 12Gbit LPDDR4 DRAM chip, which opens the door for 6GB DRAM in mobile devices.
Based on its 20-nanometer-class process technology, Samsung said the new LPDDR4 module is the largest capacity and highest speed available for a DRAM chip.
Compared to the 20nm-based 8Gbit LPDDR4, the 12Gbit version is more than 30% faster, boasting a top speed of 4,266Mbps. It's also twice as fast as DDR4 DRAM for PCs, while consuming 20% less power, Samsung said. PC DDR4 DRAM has a maximum speed per pin of 2,133Mbps.
