On July 16, Samsung Electronics announced that it has successfully completed verification of the industry’s fastest 10.7 gigabits per second (Gbps) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM for use with MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity platform.
The 10.7Gbps operating speed verification was performed using Samsung’s 16GB LPDDR5X package on MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 system-on-chip (SoC), which is expected to be released in the second half of this year. The close collaboration between the two companies allowed them to complete the verification in just three months.
Samsung’s 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X memory delivers more than 25% improved power consumption and performance compared to the previous generation. This advancement enables mobile devices to have longer battery life and improves on-device AI performance, accelerating features such as voice-to-text generation without the need for server or cloud access.
“Through our strategic cooperation with MediaTek, Samsung has validated the industry’s fastest LPDDR5X DRAM, which is poised to become the market leader in AI-enabled smartphones,” said YongCheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to innovate through active collaboration with customers and provide optimal solutions for the AI era on devices.”
“The collaboration with Samsung Electronics has enabled MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity chipset to become the world’s first to be validated at LPDDR5X operating speeds of up to 10.7Gbps, enabling future devices to deliver AI features and mobile performance at unprecedented levels,” said JC Hsu, Senior Vice President of MediaTek. “This new architecture will make it easier for developers and users to harness more AI capabilities and access more features with less impact on battery life.”
As the embedded AI market, especially for AI smartphones, continues to grow, high-performance, low-power LPDDR DRAM solutions are becoming increasingly essential. Through its validation with MediaTek, Samsung is solidifying its technology leadership in the low-power, high-performance DRAM market and is expected to expand its applications beyond mobile to include servers, PCs, and automotive devices.
