SK Hynix LPDDR5T memory completes compatibility verification with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: 16GB capacity and speed up to 9.6Gbps
CTOnews.com October 25 news, SK Hynix announced today on the official website, the company began to promote the commercialization of "LPDDR 5T (Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo) DRAM," its current mobile DRAM can achieve the highest speed of 9.6Gbps (9.6 gigabits per second). SK Hynix said it recently obtained the industry's first certification of LPDDR 5T DRAM for Qualcomm Technologies 'latest third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform.
SK Hynix said that since the development of LPDDR 5T DRAM in January this year, SK Hynix has cooperated with Qualcomm for compatibility verification. The two companies verified on smartphones combining LPDDR 5T DRAM and Qualcomm's latest third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform that both products performed well.
SK Hynix stressed: "The company's LPDDR 5T DRAM successfully completed the performance verification with major mobile AP (Application Processor) suppliers such as Qualcomm, a global authoritative communication chip company. In the future, the layout of LPDDR 5T DRAM in mobile devices will expand rapidly. "
SK Hynix plans to offer customers a 16GB (gigabit) capacity package that combines LPDDR 5T DRAM single chip. The data processing speed of the product is 77GB per second, which is equivalent to processing 15 full-HD (FHD) movies in 1 second.
In addition, LPDDR 5T DRAM can operate in the minimum voltage standard range of 1.01~1.12V specified by the International Semiconductor Standardization Organization (JEDEC), and also has advantages in power consumption.
SK Hynix technical team adopted HKMG (High-K Metal Gate) process in the process of developing this product, which effectively improved performance in terms of running speed and power consumption. As a result, the company expects that LPDDR 5T DRAM will occupy a large proportion of the mobile DRAM market before the next generation of LPDDR6 DRAM is available.
CTOnews.com notes that SK Hynix LPDDR 5T memory has been verified on MediaTek's next-generation mobile platform (expected to be the Tianji 9300) in August this year.
According to information obtained from the supply chain, the vivo X100 series will become the world's first flagship model equipped with Hynix LPDDR 5T memory.
