Samsung has begun mass production of LPDDR5X DRAM memory cards, the world's thinnest at about 0.65mm, making them 0.06mm thinner than traditional LPDDR5X packages. Samsung is relying on a new memory packaging technology with the use of an improved background polishing process to further reduce the height of the card, according to a company statement.
Samsung points out that the new architecture of its card is 9% thinner compared to traditional LPDDR5X packages, and increases heat resistance by 21.2% compared to previous generations, and this new design helps improve airflow inside smartphones, which greatly enhances heat management, which is necessary for devices with high-performance application processors with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
Young Chul bye, executive vice president of memory product planning at Samsung, explained that DRAM LPDDR5X cards set a new standard for smart solutions on mobile devices, not only by delivering outstanding memory performance, but also through advanced thermal management in a highly compact package.
Samsung plans to expand the memory capacity offered by the new LPDDR5X cards, to include capacities of up to 24GB and 36GB. While these cards are not expected to be the decisive factor in reducing the thickness of smartphones, they contribute to improving airflow inside the devices, which positively affects their performance, and in the future, Samsung will seek to develop more compact cards with an increase in storage capacities.
It is noteworthy that the South Korean company has proven its ability to compete strongly in the silicon chip market, and this is not limited to random memory cards, but clearly extends to the chip market for processors to accelerate the training of artificial intelligence models.
Chinese companies are increasingly moving towards storing cards for Samsung's smart model accelerators, after they were banned from buying American Nvidia chips leading in this sector, coinciding with new US sanctions looming and expected to be officially approved soon, which will make it difficult for Chinese companies to compete in the artificial intelligence market.
