Samsung Electronics completed verification of the industry’s fastest 10.7 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM for use on MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity platform.
Samsung’s latest 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X technology improves power consumption and performance by over 25% compared to the previous generation.
Samsung and MediaTek worked together to test the 10.7Gbps speed of Samsung’s 16GB LPDDR5X memory in MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 System on Chip (SoC), scheduled to be released in the second half of this year. The two companies have closely collaborated to complete the verification within three months.
“Through our strategic cooperation with MediaTek, Samsung has verified the industry’s fastest LPDDR5X DRAM that is poised to lead the AI smartphone market,” said 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.”
“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’ve never seen before,” said 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.”
In the growing on-device AI market, particularly for AI smartphones, energy-efficient and high-performance LPDDR DRAM solutions are gaining significance. Samsung is strengthening its technological leadership in the low-power, high-performance DRAM market through validation with MediaTek and is expected to expand the application beyond mobile to servers, PCs and automotive devices.
