Samsung launches mass production of the industry's first 8-gigabit mobile DRAM memory chip LPDDR4
Good Friday, Habr!
Samsung is launching the next generation solution - a new high-density mobile memory chip LPDDR4, thereby opening the door to the era of mobile DRAM-memory with a capacity of 4 GB for a qualitatively new level of mobile device performance. Mass production of the first in the industry of 8-gigabit chips of mobile DRAM-memory LPDDR4 on 20-nm. The process has already started. The new mobile memory chip will extend battery life and speed up the loading of applications on mobile devices with a large screen and high-resolution images.
The 8-Gbps LPDDR4 chip provides twice the performance and density as compared to 4-Gbps LPDDR3 class 20nm chips. The 4-GB LPDDR4 module, created on the basis of the new chip, won the CES Innovation Awards 2015 award in the embedded technology category. Having received this award, Samsung has become the only company that has won it for three years in a row with mobile DRAM memory solutions. Earlier, CES Innovation Awards were awarded 2-GB LPDDR3 and 3-GB LPDDR3 from Samsung - in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

With up to 3200 megabits per second data input / output speed (twice as fast as standard PC DDR3 DRAM), the new 8-Gbps LPDDR4 chip can support recording and playback of UHD video and continuous high-resolution shooting (over 20 megapixels). The operating voltage of the new LPDDR4 chip has been reduced to 1.1 V, which makes it a mobile memory solution with the lowest power consumption available for smartphones and tablets today. For example, using a 2-GB module based on 8-Gbps LPDDR4, you can save up to 40% of energy compared to a 2-GB module based on 4-Gbps LPDDR3, thanks to the low operating voltage and higher processing speed. By applying the new Swing-terminated logic (LVSTL) technology to transmit I / O signals, Samsung managed to reduce the power consumption of the LPDDR4 chip and ensure high-frequency operations at low voltage for optimal energy efficiency.
This month, Samsung has launched 2-GB LPDDR4 and 3-GB LPDDR4 modules based on 8-Gbps and 6-Gbps LPDDR4, respectively. These solutions can already be purchased by processor suppliers and mobile device manufacturers around the world, and in early 2015, Samsung will begin manufacturing 4GB LPDDR4 modules.
Samsung plans to increase production for its line of 20-nm DRAM mobile memory chips, including the new 8 Gbps LPDDR4 chip and the recently launched 8-Gbps DRAM memory chips for servers, which will allow the company to meet current customer needs, as well as accelerate growth of the global market for high-density DRAM solutions.
