Samsung Electronics Launches World's First 8GB Mobile DRAM
Mass production of '16Gb LPDDR4 DRAM' with the highest performance and maximum capacity achieved using 10nm-class technology.

Samsung Electronics has opened the '8GB (gigabyte) DRAM era' for the first time in the mobile memory market.

Samsung Electronics began supplying the world's first 10nm-class 16Gb (gigabit) LPDDR4 (Low Power Double Data Rate 4)-based '8GB LPDDR4 Mobile DRAM' this month.

The '8GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM' provides the same capacity as the 8GB DDR4 found in high-performance ultra-slim notebooks, enabling high-spec virtual computer environments and 4K UHD videos to run more quickly and smoothly on mobile devices, just like on premium PCs.

In particular, it has a read/write speed of 4,266 Mb/s, which is twice as fast as high-performance PC DRAM (4GB DDR4, 2,133 Mb/s).

In addition, by applying 10nm-class design technology and independently developed low-power technology, the product has twice the capacity and approximately twice the power consumption efficiency per unit capacity (GB) compared to the existing 20nm-class 4GB mobile DRAM, further enhancing the usability of next-generation mobile devices.

The '8GB LPDDR4 mobile DRAM' is an ultra-slim solution with a thickness of less than 1.0mm in the size (area) of the existing mobile package (15mm x 15mm), and can be stacked on top of eUFS or mobile AP, reducing the package mounting area. Can be.

Samsung Electronics has launched a 10nm-class 16Gb LPDDR4 mobile DRAM just 14 months after mass-producing the 20nm 12Gb LPDDR4 DRAM in August of last year, enabling it to provide global mobile customers with a next-level solution that is ‘ultra-fast, high-capacity, ultra-low power, and ultra-slim.’

Samsung Electronics Memory Business Division Strategic Marketing Team Vice President Joo-sun Choi said, “With the mass production of 8GB mobile DRAM, the industry’s highest capacity, we have contributed to the timely launch of next-generation flagship mobile devices by global customers,” and added, “We will strengthen technological cooperation with customers in various fields such as dual cameras, 4K UHD, and VR in the future to provide the best memory solutions.”
He emphasized that "we will provide".

Samsung Electronics plans to rapidly increase its production of 10nm-class DRAM by expanding the supply of 8GB products in line with the launch of flagship products for global mobile device customers this year.

Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics is currently producing DRAM for PCs, servers, and mobile devices using a 10nm process on its cutting-edge lines, but its strategy is to produce 10nm DRAM on existing lines in the future to smoothly meet the growing demand from global customers and lead the growth of the premium memory market.
