Samsung has announced the next generation of RAM chips that will be used in a variety of applications, from smartphones to the recent hot topic: the metaverse.
Samsung's next-generation RAM is built for 5G and AI
According to Samsung, the new LPDDR5X DRAM chips will significantly improve the speed and performance of the device they are housed in. The company also claims that this new component is the industry's first 14-nanometer (nm)-based 16GB processor.
The LPDDR5X is a successor to 2018’s LPDDR5. It is 1.3x faster than the older chip and consumes 20 percent less power. The new technology can handle up to 64GB per memory pack, allowing the LPDDR5X to meet the demand for high-capacity DRAM around the world.
Whether Samsung calls it the metaverse remains unclear for now.
