BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), introduced immediately that its low-power double information fee 5X (LPDDR5X) cellular reminiscence is constant to achieve market traction with the validation of its cellular reminiscence for Qualcomm Technologies’ newest cellular platform for flagship smartphones, its Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2. Notably, Micron’s LPDDR5X is built-in into Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 reference designs, permitting it to function a key instance of the advantages that OEMs will see when designing their smartphones utilizing this chipset. Micron can also be transport LPDDR5X in mass manufacturing, which can allow the world’s first smartphones with LPDDR5X at peak speeds.
Purpose-built for high-end and flagship smartphones, Micron’s newest LPDDR5X delivers peak speeds at 8.533 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is as much as 33% quicker than previous-generation LPDDR5.1 This elevated velocity, up from the 7.5 Gbps Micron supported final fall, gives a lift for high-bandwidth, data-intensive cellular experiences that demand high-performance reminiscence.
“As the unsung hero of smartphone innovation, blazing fast mobile memory is critical to bringing to life the promise of 5G, AI and the massive amounts of data flowing through smartphones today,” stated Raj Talluri, senior vp and basic supervisor of Micron’s Mobile Business Unit. “The worldwide shipment and mass production of our LPPDR5X at peak speeds empower the mobile ecosystem to innovate a new generation of devices and emerging apps we can’t yet imagine.”
Micron led the semiconductor {industry} in sampling and validating LPDDR5X, the quickest, most superior cellular reminiscence, in November of final 12 months on its first-to-market 1α (1-alpha) node. With this newest milestone, the corporate continues to speed up market adoption of LPDDR5X and solidifies its product innovation and management within the cellular ecosystem, following industry-first launches for LPDDR5, 1α-based LPDDR4X, 176-layer NAND-based UFS 3.1 and uMCP5 options.
“Fast, powerful memory is critical to unleashing the lightning fast connectivity, dynamic experiences and revolutionary performance that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 promises,” stated Ziad Asghar, vp of product administration at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Micron’s LPDDR5X memory, supporting 8.5 Gbps, brings the unprecedented speeds and energy efficiency our chipsets demand.”
These new ranges of reminiscence efficiency are more and more essential for feeding huge quantities of knowledge to the a number of heterogeneous processing engines constructed into immediately’s advanced smartphone processors. As cellular workloads develop extra subtle, these superior chipsets depend on excessive information charges to make sure seamless multitasking throughout purposes and to allow synthetic intelligence (AI) inferencing, augmented and digital actuality, immersive graphics and high-resolution digital camera use instances like night time and portrait modes.
Micron’s cellular reminiscence and storage options are purpose-built to gas the subsequent wave of 5G and AI-enabled smartphone experiences — balancing calls for for capability and computational processing with measurement constraints, price effectiveness and energy effectivity. Micron’s deep relationships with smartphone producers and chipset companions all over the world equip the cellular ecosystem to achieve an enhanced expertise with its low-power, high-performance options, in depth technical experience and dedication to innovation.
