SK Hynix Commercializes 'LPDDR5T'... Obtains Qualcomm Certification
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Receives Certification for Application
SK Hynix has begun commercializing 'Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo (LPDDR5T),' which achieves the highest existing speed for mobile DRAM at 9.5 gigabits per second (9.6Gbps).
On the 25th, SK Hynix announced that it has become the first in the industry to obtain certification that LPDDR5T can be applied to Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform in the United States.
LPDDR is a DRAM standard used in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Since it focuses on minimizing power consumption, the standard name includes Low Power (LP). LPDDR5T is a product first developed by SK Hynix, characterized by an upgrade in performance from the latest 7th generation product (LPDDR5T).
After completing the development of LPDDR5T in January, SK Hynix conducted compatibility verification with its partner Qualcomm. Through this, both companies confirmed that LPDDR5T and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform deliver excellent performance when combined in smartphones.
SK Hynix stated, "We have completed performance verification with major mobile application processor (AP) companies, including Qualcomm, a leading global communication chip company," and explained, "the range of mobile devices applying LPDDR5T will rapidly expand in the future."
The company plans to supply customers with a 16GB capacity package product made by combining individual LPDDR5T chips. The data processing speed of this package is 77GB per second, which is equivalent to processing 15 Full-HD (FHD) movies in one second.
