Samsung Electronics today announced that its 14-nanometer (nm) based 16-gigabit (Gb) Low Power Double Data Rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM has been validated for use on Qualcomm Technologies' Snapdragon mobile platforms. Samsung, when it launched the DRAM last November had claimed it to be an industry-first, and expected it to come in handy for use in smart phones and mobile devices. Since then Samsung is said to have collaborated with Qualcomm Technologies to optimise the 7.5 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) LPDDR5X for use with Snapdragon mobile platforms. The DRAM is expected to help in high-speed data service applications including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI) and the metaverse. "Qualcomm Technologies is an industry leader in enabling and adopting the latest LPDDR DRAM specifications. Enablement of LPDDR5X on Snapdragon platforms will enhance user experiences with new features and improved performance for gaming, camera and applications using our latest AI Engine across various Qualcomm Technologies' product lines," Ziad Asghar, Vice President of Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, was quoted as saying in a press statement from Samsung.
