SAMSUMG starts Mass Production of 16GB LPDDR5 RAM

Samsung announced that it kicks off production of the world's first 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM for mobile devices. And it is the first to use the 3rd generation 10nm 1z process supported the EUV technology.

It has allowed Samsung to bring down the thickness of the chips by 30%. The new 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM memory requires only eight chips to try to to so whereas previously, eight chips were required to form a 12GB package. this suggests that albeit thinner, the new generation DRAM packs more capacity also .

In terms of performance, the 16GB package outperforms the 12GB LPDDR5 RAM by 16% - 6,400 MB/s vs 5,500 MB/s.

According to Samsung, the new 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM chips supported the 1z process has been the key to unravel scaling issues they previously had with the 1y-based chips. the corporate will attempt to strengthen its presence in 2021 flagship phones with its new manufacturing process.
