SK hynix had started measurement shipments of its LPDDR5T-9600 representation for high-end smartphones, nan institution announced this week. So far, nan company's LPDDR6 'Turbo' representation pinch a 9600 MT/s information transportation velocity has been certified to activity pinch 2 range-topping mobile exertion processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek.

SK hynix's LPDDR5T-9600 representation is disposable successful 16 GB packages pinch a VDD voltage scope of 1.01V to 1.12V and a VDDQ of 0.5v. Notably, this VDD scope is conscionable somewhat complete nan LPDDR5X specfication (1.00V to 1.1V), which shouldn't beryllium a superior problem, but apt warrants immoderate other compatibility testing pinch existing chips.

Smartphone and SoC manufacturers person a awesome inducement to validate SK hynix's LPDDR5T-9600 and Micron's LPDDR5X-9600 memory arsenic these modules connection a 76.8 GB/s highest bandwidth, up 12.5% from 68.2 GB/s offered by LPDDR5X-8533.

So far, SK Hynix's LPDDR6T-9600 modules person been certified by Qualcomm for its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile SoC arsenic good arsenic MediaTek for its Dimensity 9300 and immoderate consequent processors. Meanwhile, SK Hynix confirmed that it had begun shipments of its LPDDR6T-9600 devices to Vivo, which will usage it for X100 and X100 Pro mobile exertion processors.

Following nan latest trends, SK hynix mentions that its very accelerated LPDDR5T-9600 representation will beryllium peculiarly useful for on-device AI applications. And, of course, faster DRAM is ever welcomed for graphics intensive mobile applications, specified arsenic games.

"Smartphones are becoming basal devices for implementing on-device AI exertion arsenic nan AI era kicks into afloat swing," said Myoungsoo Park, Vice President and Head of DRAM Marketing astatine SK hynix. "There is simply a increasing request for high-performing, high-capacity mobile DRAMs successful nan market. We will proceed to lead nan premium DRAM marketplace based connected our technological activity successful AI memories, while staying successful tune pinch marketplace demands."
