Samsung is ready to mass produce LPDDR5T RAM chips in 2024, the fastest DRAM yet

At first caught like a deer in headlights, Samsung is apparently ready to mass produce LPDDR5T DRAM chips.

You may have heard of LPDDR5T DRAM if you follow what Vivo has been doing lately and its Android juggernaut with a 1-inch camera sensor – the Vivo X100 Pro. This is the one that contains the aforementioned super-fast LPDDR5T DRAM, which offers read speeds about 12-13% faster than the previous one, the popular LPDDR5X.

Generally speaking, Samsung is the leader in the DRAM chip industry. This is because it is usually the first to introduce products based on new DRAM standards (via SamMobile). However, it was caught off guard earlier this year when Micron and SK Hynix announced their LPDDR5T DRAM chips, following the announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.

The report states that Samsung is ready to mass produce large quantities of LPDDR5T DRAM chips in 2024. This information was communicated to investors during the tech giant’s investor forum in Hong Kong recently.

During the meeting, Samsung Electronics Vice President Ha-Ryong Yoon explained the company’s plans and ideas for the future. When an investor asked about the technologies Samsung is working on for the future, executives revealed information about LPDDR5T DRAM.

While Samsung is the largest DRAM company in the world, SK Hynix is ​​the most talked about company over the past year. It preemptively launched mass production of LPDDR5T DRAM, which some Chinese smartphone companies have decided to use in their new flagship smartphones – as Vivo did with its flagship Vivo X100 Pro.
