Samsung Electronics begint massaproductie van de eerste 12GB LPDDR4X-gebaseerde uMCP
Door gebruik te maken van de eerste 24Gb LPDDR4X chips uit de industrie, stelt deze uMCP met de hoogste capaciteit 10+ GB geheugenoplossingen beschikbaar voor smartphonegebruikers in het middensegment van de markt
SAN JOSE, Californië (BUSINESS WIRE) – Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd, een wereldleider in geavanceerde geheugentechnologie, kondigde vandaag aan dat het is begonnen met de massaproductie van de eerste 12-gigabyte (GB) UFS-gebaseerd multichip pakket (uMCP) met een laag vermogen en een dubbele datasnelheid van 12 gigabyte (LPDDR4X). De aankondiging werd gedaan als onderdeel van de jaarlijkse Samsung Tech Day van het bedrijf op het Amerikaanse hoofdkantoor in San Jose, Californië.
“Door gebruik te maken van onze toonaangevende 24-gigabit (Gb) LPDDR4X chips, kunnen we de hoogste mobiele DRAM-capaciteit van 12GB bieden, niet alleen voor high-end smartphones maar ook voor mid-range apparaten”, zegt Sewon Chun, executive vice president van Memory Marketing bij Samsung Electronics.

Utilizing the industry’s first 24Gb LPDDR4X chips, this highest-capacity uMCP makes 10+ GB memory solutions available to mid-market smartphone users
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has begun mass producing the industry’s first 12-gigabyte (GB) low-power double data rate 4X (LPDDR4X) UFS-based multichip package (uMCP). The announcement was made as part of the company’s annual Samsung Tech Day at its Device Solutions’ America headquarters in San Jose, California.
“Leveraging our leading-edge 24-gigabit (Gb) LPDDR4X chips, we can offer the highest mobile DRAM capacity of 12GB not only for high-end smartphones but also for mid-range devices,” said Sewon Chun, executive vice president of Memory Marketing at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to support our smartphone-manufacturing customers with on-time development of next-generation mobile memory solutions, bringing enhanced smartphone experiences to many more users around the globe.”
Samsung is introducing its 12GB uMCP solution just seven months after its launch of a 12GB LPDDRX package based on 16Gb DRAM. By combining four of the 24Gb LPDDR4X chips (featuring the latest 1y-nanometer process technology) and ultra-fast eUFS 3.0 NAND storage into a single package, the new mobile memory is able to break through the current 8GB package limit and provide 10+ GB memory to the broader smartphone market.*
As the trend toward larger, higher-resolution smartphone displays continues to grow, more users will benefit from Samsung’s uMCP solution when running data-intensive tasks or multitasking. With 1.5X capacity of the previous 8GB package and a data transfer rate of 4,266 megabits per second (Mbps), the 12GB uMCP can support smooth 4K video recording as well as accommodate AI and machine learning features even for mid-end smartphones.
Samsung plans to rapidly expand the availability of 10+ GB LPDDR DRAM to address the increasing needs of global smartphone makers for higher-capacity memory solutions, while reinforcing its competitive edge in the memory marketplace.
