Samsung and Qualcomm have successfully completed the validation of 8.5Gbps LPDDR5X. This means we should begin to see Snapdragon powered phones, among others, with the new superfast RAM soon.

The AMD Mendocino APU is built on the 6nm node and packs ZEN 2 CPU cores, and RDNA 2 GPUs, with support for LPDDR5 RAM. The chipset would offer better computing and graphics for budget laptops.

The next-gen LPDDR standard dubbed LPDDR5X has been announced today by Samsung. It is the industry's first such solution and promises to deliver 64GB capacities at 8.5Gbps to low-power devices.

Rumors of ASUS' new ROG Phone 5 having 18GB memory are confirmed today by SK hynix, the latter of which has revealed in a blog post that the firm will be the one supplying the 18GB DRAM to ASUS.

Samsung has announced that the mass production of 12Gb LPDDR5 mobile DRAM has begun. The new chips will be used in upcoming premium model smartphone devices and are optimised for 5G and AI tasks.

Samsung has announced its new mobile device memory which offers a 1.5x speed improvement and also cuts power consumption by 30% to enable a longer battery life. The chip will be in future flagships.
