The fastest 10.7 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM in the industry has been successfully verified by Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, for use on MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity platform.
Using Samsung’s LPDDR5X 16-gigabyte (GB) package on MediaTek’s next flagship Dimensity 9400 System on Chip (SoC), which is expected to be delivered in the second half of this year, the 10.7Gbps operation speed verification was performed. The verification was finished in about three months because of the close collaboration between the two businesses.
Performance and power consumption are both more than 25% better with Samsung’s 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X than with the previous generation. As a result, mobile devices can now run on longer batteries and have better on-device AI performance, which speeds up the creation of voice-to-text and other AI capabilities without requiring server or cloud access.
“Samsung has confirmed the fastest LPDDR5X DRAM in the industry, which is set to lead the AI smartphone market through our strategic partnership with MediaTek,” stated YongCheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will keep innovating by actively working with customers and delivering the best possible solutions for the on-device AI era.”
According to JC Hsu, Corporate Senior Vice President at MediaTek, “partnering with Samsung Electronics has allowed MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity chipset to become the first in the world 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.” “With less impact on battery life, this updated architecture will make it easier for developers and users to take advantage of more features and leverage more AI capabilities.”

An increasing number of energy-efficient, high-performance LPDDR DRAM solutions are needed as the on-device AI industry grows, particularly for AI smartphones. Samsung is reaffirming its technological leadership in the low-power, high-performance DRAM market with the validation of MediaTek. It is anticipated that this would extend the application beyond mobile devices to servers, PCs, and automobiles.
