SK hynix had began quantity shipments of its LPDDR5T-9600 reminiscence for high-end smartphones, the corporate introduced this week. Up to now, the corporate’s LPDDR6 ‘Turbo’ reminiscence with a 9600 MT/s information switch velocity has been licensed to work with two range-topping cellular software processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
SK hynix’s LPDDR5T-9600 reminiscence is on the market in 16 GB packages with a VDD voltage vary of 1.01V to 1.12V and a VDDQ of 0.5v. Notably, this VDD vary is simply barely over the LPDDR5X specfication (1.00V to 1.1V), which should not be a significant issue, however probably warrants some additional compatibility testing with present chips.
Smartphone and SoC producers have an incredible incentive to validate SK hynix’s LPDDR5T-9600 and Micron’s LPDDR5X-9600 reminiscence as these modules supply a 76.8 GB/s peak bandwidth, up 12.5% from 68.2 GB/s supplied by LPDDR5X-8533.
Up to now, SK Hynix’s LPDDR6T-9600 modules have been licensed by Qualcomm for its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 cellular SoC in addition to MediaTek for its Dimensity 9300 and a few subsequent processors. In the meantime, SK Hynix confirmed that it had begun shipments of its LPDDR6T-9600 gadgets to Vivo, which can use it for X100 and X100 Professional cellular software processors.
Following the most recent traits, SK hynix mentions that its very quick LPDDR5T-9600 reminiscence will probably be notably helpful for on-device AI functions. And, after all, sooner DRAM is all the time welcomed for graphics intensive cellular functions, reminiscent of video games.
“Smartphones have gotten important gadgets for implementing on-device AI know-how because the AI period kicks into full swing,” mentioned Myoungsoo Park, Vice President and Head of DRAM Advertising at SK hynix. “There’s a rising demand for high-performing, high-capacity cellular DRAMs available in the market. We are going to proceed to steer the premium DRAM market primarily based on our technological management in AI reminiscences, whereas staying in tune with market calls for.”
