Samsung starts mass production of 12-gigabit LPDDR4 RAM, 6GB RAM coming to next-gen flagship mobile devices
Samsung Electronics started mass producing 8 gigabit (Gb) LPDDR4 mobile DRAM based 20-nanometer (nm) process technology at the end of 2014. The company is using 4GB LPDDR4 RAM with four 8Gb LPDDR4 chips in the latest Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note5 smartphones. Today the company announced that it has started mass producing industry’s first 12-gigabit (Gb) LPDDR4 (low power, double data rate 4) mobile DRAM, based on the same 20-nanometer (nm) process technology

Features of Samsung’s new high-speed 12Gb LPDDR4 mobile DRAM
- Fabricated on 20-nanometer (nm) class process technology
- With two or four of the 12Gb chips, a single 3GB or 6GB LPDDR4 package can provide the highest level of performance
- Data transfer rate of 4,266 megabits per second (Mbps) per pin, 30% faster than 20nm-based 8Gb LPDDR4
- Twice as fast as DDR4 DRAM for PCs, while consuming 20% less energy
- 6GB LPDDR4 package can easily fit into the same space used for 3GB LPDDR4 packages currently available
