Something to keep manufacturers happy while they wait for the joy of LPDDR6
South Korean memory maker SK hynix announced today it has delivered samples of what it claims is the world’s fastest mobile DRAM, and expressed its belief it will eventually be used in more applications.
The Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo, or LPDDR5T, is 13 percent faster than the LPDDR5X the chip shop revealed last November – thus the word « turbo » appended to its name. The turbo version tops out at 9.6Gbit/sec on a 10nm process, compared to the previous iteration’s 8.5Gbit/sec on a 12nm process.
According to SK hynix’s canned statement, a 16GB multi-chip package – such as those given out as samples – can process 77GB of data per second, or fifteen full-HD movies in one second. Somewhat fewer if any of them are Avatar.
