Samsung has started mass production of its new LPDDR5X memory, which has the potential to usher in slimmer laptops and mobile devices. The new memory modules are the industry’s thinnest, with a 12nm-class LPDDR DRAM in a 4-stack structure, reducing thickness by approximately 9% and improving heat resistance by about 21.2% compared to the previous generation.
The new LPDDR5X memory could enable the production of even thinner laptops, including AI-powered devices like Copilot+ PCs. Samsung notes that the improved airflow and thermal performance made possible by the new memory could be critical for high-performance applications. The extra space saved by the thinner memory could also be used to accommodate larger batteries or other components.
