Samsung introduces the thinnest LPDDR5X DRAM for smartphones | Infinium-tech
Samsung recently announced a new LPDDR5X DRAM chip that is the thinnest in its class. The 12nm class chips are available in 12GB and 16GB packages. It is designed for the low-power RAM market, mostly targeting smartphones with on-device AI capabilities.
The new chip is 0.65mm thin, making it 9% thinner than its previous model. The company estimates that this will improve its cooling by 21.2%.
Samsung has created the new chip by optimising printed circuit board (PCB) and epoxy moulding compound technologies, reducing the thickness of the LPDDR5X to the size of a fingernail. It is built in a 4-stack structure, with four layers packed together, each containing two LPDDR DRAMs.
Samsung is already shipping the new thin chip to manufacturers. As demand for high-performance, high-density mobile memory solutions continues to grow, the company plans to develop 6-layer 24 GB and 8-layer 32 GB modules in the thinnest packages possible for future devices.
