Samsung has developed its next-generation low-power LPDDR6 memory for mobile applications. Built on a 12 nm process, this LPDDR6 memory module achieves data rates of 10.7 Gbps. Engineers have increased the input/output channel count and introduced dynamic power tuning, which adjusts power consumption in real time based on workload demands. Samsung has also incorporated robust security features directly into the memory subsystem to ensure data integrity across all applications. Interestingly, Samsung's improved and tuned LPDDR5X also reaches 10.7 Gbps, which is the starting point for the new LPDDR6 memory.

As seen in the transition from DDR4 to DDR5, the final configurations of the previous generation memory are often close in performance to the first generation of the new standard. For LPDDR6, Samsung claims a 21% improvement in energy efficiency over its predecessor, LPDDR5X. This means devices can achieve the same bandwidth and speed while using one-fifth less power. Future LPDDR6 iterations are expected to reach speeds of up to 14 Gbps, surpassing even the fastest overclocked LPDDR5X chips. More details are anticipated at this year's CES, where Samsung will showcase devices powered by the new memory and reveal specific features.
