Samsung has announced the world’s very first 8 Gigabit mobile RAM, which it says will increase efficiency in smartphones and tablets while reducing battery consumption.
The 8Gb low power double information rate 4 (LPDDR4) mobile DRAM will succeed Samsung’s LPDDR3 memory some time in 2014, the business stated in a press release.
Samsung stated it’ll make use of the next-gen memory to concentrate on large-screened and high-resolution smartphones, tablets and ultra-slim note pads, consisting of gadgets with 4K displays.
And the Korean Media reports that the Galaxy S5 will be the very first phone to use it.
The next step
The Galaxy S5 is expected to appear early in 2014 with a 64-bit chip.
Now that 64-bit phones will end up being a big deal (thanks to innovations made by the iPhone 5S), lots of devices will actually have the ability to access more than 4GB of RAM, so Samsung’s LPDDR4 comes at the best time.
‘This next-generation LPDDR4 DRAM will contribute substantially to faster growth of the international mobile DRAM market, which will quickly consist of the largest share of the entire DRAM market,’ Samsung Executive Vice Head of state of Memory Sales and Advertising Young-Hyun Jun stated in the company’s statement.
‘We’ll continue presenting the most advanced mobile DRAM one step ahead of the rest of the industry so that global OEMs can introduce ingenious mobile gadgets with extraordinary user convenience in the timeliest way.’
High performance
Samsung’s new LPDDR4 memory makes use of 20-nanometer class process technology and packs 1GB onto a single die, which Samsung states makes it the densest DRAM readily available.
In addition, the LPDDR4 supposedly provides two times the information transfer rate per pin and HALF greater efficiency in general than the best existing LPDDR3, and eats approximately 40 percent less battery power.
Samsung guarantees it’ll provide for ‘quicker, even more receptive applications, more advanced functions, and greater resolution displays while taking full advantage of battery life.’
