- Samsung, the world's largest memory chip maker, has begun mass producing its thinnest LPDDR5X DRAM.
- The new 12nm-class chip is tailored for on-device AI applications.
- Samsung is also investing heavily in HBM technology to maintain its AI chip leadership.
Samsung has made a massive leap in mobile technology with the next-gen LPDDR5X DRAM. It’s the slimmest mobile DRAM chip presented in the industry so far and intended for on-chip artificial intelligence has been launched in production by the tech giant. This will be the change that will revolutionize our usage of smartphones and other similar mobile devices.
Thinnest Samsung LPDDR5X DRAM for On-Device AI Enters Mass Production
It is one of the series of evidence that can attest that Samsung never fails to innovate on the best technology. A new phenomenal DRAM package is this 12-nanometer class LPDDR5X which measures only at 0. 65mm.
Its predecessor was 9% thicker and heat resistance was raised by 21. 2%. This particular solution flips on its head due to the ultraslim form factor — where phone makers gain a desirable area within devices and allow for better performance and new features.
Samsung is trying to push this technology as one of the major approaches to directly execute the heaviest AI applications on mobile devices without their constant connection to the cloud.
To allow device AI to execute smoothly on the device, in effect making the device smarter, the LPDDR5X DRAM on-board performance needs to be enhanced as does the thermal efficiency of the chip.
Samsung’s Bae Yong-cheol, the Executive Vice President, said: “The LPDDR5X DRAM has set out the best benchmark for the device-embedded AI solutions, the most powerful performance with the best heat dissipation scheme within the minimal chip size. ” This puts Samsung at the top of the mobile technology and sets a new benchmark for AI chips.
HBM (high bandwidth memory ) is an attractive concept to consumers because it represents value for money, which is especially noteworthy amidst the general population’s current concerns with health improvement and weight loss.
However, the chips don’t lie just in LPDDR5X; the company is aspiring to be equally considered a prominent player in the AI semiconductor manufacturing game. The firm already has a special team formed to collaborate with the high-bandwidth memory that is useful in computation in AI and is essentially used in Nvidia’s GPU.
It therefore places Samsung in this position to venture into research and development in this highly demanded area. The measures related to GSA’s financial performance and status as the dominant player in the field.
This can be evidenced in the company’s performance indicators; During the second quarter of this year the operating profit of Samsung has grown manifold, that is fifteen times, because of the betterment of the semiconductor business.
Its chip division realized sales of 28. 6 trillion won and operating profit of 6. 45 trillion won. It was an explosive growth with a high rate of demand for memory chips and other things such as AI servers and SSDs.
That means mass production by Samsung LPDDR5X DRAM can be described as a major milestone in the development of mobile technologies. Thus, with this brand-new chip and the resourceful capitalization of HBM, Samsung is most prepared to occupy the prime position in AI semiconductors.
