Micron released the latest LPDDR5X-8500 memory, using the advanced 1β process, and is sending samples to smartphone manufacturers and chipset partners. Now, Micron China has issued a document to introduce it in detail.
Officials say that 1β technology can increase energy efficiency by about 15%, memory density by more than 35%, and a single die capacity of up to 16Gb.
The speed and density of 1beta technology will enable high-bandwidth use cases to provide faster responsiveness and smoothness when downloading, launching, and concurrently using data-intensive 5G and AI applications. In addition, the LPDDR5X based on the 1β node can not only accelerate smartphone shooting startup, improve the shooting speed and clarity in night mode and portrait mode, but also realize jitter-free, high-resolution 8K video recording and convenient mobile phone video editing.
The 1β process technology enables lower power consumption per bit than ever before, providing smartphones with the most energy-efficient memory technology on the market today. It will enable smartphone makers to deliver longer-lasting devices – consumers who use energy-intensive, data-intensive applications, where extended battery life will be critical.
New JEDEC Enhanced Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling Extended Core (eDVFSC) technology makes 1β-based LPDDR5X more power efficient. Adding eDVFSC on the double frequency layer up to 3200 Mbps improves power saving control for lower power consumption based on a unique end-user mode.
Finally, Micron said that Micron will mass-produce 1β nodes in other applications such as embedded, data center, client, consumer, industrial, and automotive in the next year, including products including display memory and high-bandwidth memory.
