The new Samsung LPDDR5X DRAM is prepped for super-high-res video (4K 120FPS, 8K 60FPS, and more) as well as AI features in next-gen devices around the corner. Samsung's new LPDDR5X memory is made on their in-house 14nm process node.

Samsung is clocking its new LPDDR5X at up to 7.5Gbps, which is a 20% bump over the LPDDR5 (non-X) which has up to 6.4Gbps of bandwidth. This additional 20% performance will allow new high-performance devices that are a decent leap in performance over the current flagship mobile devices.
