LPDDR6 RAM Expected to Make Its Debut Alongside Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC Later This Year
LPDDR6 RAM (Low Power Double Data Rate 6 Random Access Memory) — the next iteration of RAM could make an appearance later this year. It is expected to be announced in the third quarter of this year and could be used on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The LPDDR6 memory that will be replacing the existing LPDDR5 memory is expected to offer improved data transfer speeds and increased bandwidth compared to its predecessor. Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series is said to come with LPDDR6 memory and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC with increased data bandwidth for performing AI tasks. This could give the flagship series an advantage over the next iPhone 16 series.
As per a report by Korean publication AjuNews, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are speeding up the mass production of LPDDR6 DRAM to take a lead in the AI-driven industry. The LPDDR6 memory that would replace the existing LPDDR5 reportedly offers improved data bandwidth for faster processing of AI tasks on the device.
The Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) is reportedly going to announce the features of LPDDR6 DRAM in September. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are also expected to unveil their LPDDR6 DRAM chips around that time.
