Literally nailing it with svelte RAM modules that are now in mass production
Samsung has fired up the production lines in earnest to make its new super-trim LPDDR5X memory which has the potential to usher in slimmer laptops (or smartphones and tablets) down the line.
In a press release, Samsung announced that it has started mass production of what it calls the industry’s thinnest 12nm LPDDR5X DRAM (low-power RAM for mobile devices) in 12GB and 16GB modules.
Samsung boasts: “With the new LPDDR5X DRAM packages, Samsung offers the industry’s thinnest 12 nm-class LPDDR DRAM in a 4-stack structure, reducing the thickness by approximately 9% and improving heat resistance by about 21.2%, compared to the previous generation product.”
A hair under 10% thinner might not sound like that big of a deal, but when it comes to the cramped innards of a laptop – particularly a thin-and-light device – every small space-saving measure really does matter.
We’re told that the RAM module is 0.
