Samsung on July 16th announced that it has completed validation of the LPDDR5X DRAM in MediaTek’s upcoming flagship Dimensity 9400 SoC, scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024. The two companies have closely collaborated to complete the verification within just three months, it added.
This promised improvements in power consumption and performance by more than 25% and capacity by more than 30%, compared to the previous generation, and also expands the single package capacity of mobile DRAM up to 32-gigabytes (GB).
“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.”
