Samsung has unveiled its next generation of LPDDR5X DRAM, which boasts 10.7Gbps of memory bandwidth. The new generation is 25% faster than Samsung's first-gen LPDDR5X, and is aimed at improving AI performance for mobile devices with local hardware-accelerated neural processing capabilities. Samsung said that mass production of the new LPDDR5X will begin in the second half of 2024.

Samsung's new 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM is the fastest version of the low-profile DDR5 standard to date. It's faster than Samsung's first-gen LPDDR5X, which clocked up to 8533 MT/s (8.5Gbps), and it's faster than Micron's 9.6Gbps LPDDR5X. At least on paper, the only other memory architecture that can achieve similar speeds to the new 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM is GDDR5 graphics memory.
