TOI TechAccording to Samsung, the new 12Gb RAM is over 30% faster than the 20nm-based 8Gb LPDDR4 RAM at 4,266Mbps.
NEW DELHI: Samsung has taken the first step towards making the world's first 6GB RAM for smartphones and tablets. The company also sees its application in ultra-slim PCs, digital appliances and cars in the future.
In a post on the Samsung Tomorrow blog, the company said it has started mass-producing 12Gb LPDDR4 RAM, which will be made on 20nm process technology. This 12Gb RAM will be able to hold 1.5GB of information, so Samsung will be able to create 3GB and 6GB RAM for mobile devices by stacking together two or four of these chips, respectively.
According to Samsung, the new 12Gb RAM is over 30% faster than the 20nm-based 8Gb LPDDR4 RAM at 4,266Mbps. It is also claimed to be twice as fast as DDR4 DRAM for PCs, and consumes 20% less energy.
Samsung has been able to increase the manufacturing productivity of the 12Gb LPDDR4 by more than 50% over that of 20nm-class 8Gb LPDDR4.
Smartphones with 4GB RAM have already started cropping up in the market, such as Samsung's own Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5, OnePlus 2, and Asus Zenfone 2 and Zenfone 2 Deluxe, to name a few. The 6GB RAM model may become the next highlighting feature of smartphones in the couple of years.
