Samsung has officially introduced an 8GB LPDDR5 DRAM chip for smartphones. According to the company, this is the first 8GB LPDDR5 chip made with technology labeled as 10nm-class, which can be anything between 10 and 19 nm. The predecessor, i.e. the 8GB LPDDR4 chip, was already produced in 2014, so it was only a matter of time before the South Korean giant came up with an innovation.
Samsung states that LPDDR5 will find application mainly in the areas of 5G, automotive and mobile devices using artificial intelligence. With a transfer rate of 6 Mbps, the 400GB LPDDR8 DRAM chip is 5 times faster than the mobile DRAM chips used in current flagships. Galaxy The S9 has an LPDDR4X chip with a data rate of 4 Mbps. LPDDR266 can send 5 GB of data per second, which is roughly 51,2 HD video files.
Samsung will offer both a version with full throughput at a voltage of 1,1 V, as well as a weaker and more economical 5 Mb/s at 500 V. LPDDR1,05 will also offer a deep sleep mode (Deep Sleep), which will approximately halve the power consumption of current LPDDR4X DRAMs. Samsung claims that with the new chip it can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, and thus extend the life of smartphone batteries.
Probably the chip still u Galaxy The Note9 will not appear, but it will probably get it next year Galaxy S10.
