Samsung has taken the crown to develop the industry’s first 8Gb (gigabit) LPDDR4 (low power double data rate 4) mobile DRAM. The next-generation LPDDR4 will be used in upcoming mobile devices that will enable devices to be faster and more responsive and support high resolution displays with an improved battery life.
Samsung says the new 8Gb or 1GB LPDDR4 Mobile DRAM offers the “highest level of density, performance and energy efficiency” and is based on 20nm class process technology. When four 8Gb chips are stacked together, it offers give up to 4GB of RAM to mobile devices.
Furthermore, the LPDDR4 RAM uses Low Voltage Swing Terminated Logic (LVSTL) I/O interface – a standard specification for LPDDR4 RAM – that enables a data transfer of 3,200Mbps per pin or double than the current 20nm LPDDR3 RAM. In addition to the performance, the new RAM consumes 40 percent less power.
Samsung plans to use the new DRAM in high-end mobile devices.
