Samsung has efficiently validated its new LPDDR5X-10700 reminiscence with MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity platform. At current, 10.7 GT/s is the very best performing pace grade of LPDDR5X DRAM slated to be launched this yr, so the upcoming Dimensity 9400 system-on-chip will get the very best reminiscence bandwidth out there for a cellular software processor.
The verification course of concerned Samsung’s 16 GB LPDDR5X bundle and MediaTek’s soon-to-be-announced Dimensity 9400 SoC for high-end 5G smartphones. Usage of LPDDR5X-10700 offers a reminiscence bandwidth of 85.6 GB/second over a 64-bit interface, which will probably be out there for bandwidth-hungry purposes like graphics and generative AI.
“Working together with Samsung Electronics has made it possible for MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity chipset to become the world’s first to be validated at LPDDR5X operating speeds up to 10.7Gbps, enabling upcoming devices to deliver AI functionality and mobile performance at a level we have never seen before,” stated JC Hsu, Corporate Senior Vice President at MediaTek. “This updated architecture will make it easier for developers and users to leverage more AI capabilities and take advantage of more features with less impact on battery life.”
Samsung’s LPDDR5X 10.7 GT/s reminiscence in made on the corporate’s 12nm-class DRAM course of know-how and is alleged to supply a greater than 25% enchancment in energy effectivity over previous-generation LPDDR5X, along with additional efficiency. This will positively have an effect on improved person expertise, together with enhanced on-device AI capabilities, resembling sooner voice-to-text conversion, and higher high quality graphics.
Overall, the 2 firms accomplished this course of in simply three months. Though it stays to be seen when smartphones based mostly on the Dimensity 9400 software processor and LPDDR5X reminiscence are set to be out there available on the market, as MediaTek has not but even formally introduced the SoC itself.
“Through our strategic cooperation with MediaTek, Samsung has verified the industry’s fastest LPDDR5X DRAM that is poised to lead the AI smartphone market,” stated YongCheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to innovate through active collaboration with customers and provide optimum solutions for the on-device AI era.”
