Micron Technology today announced that the world's first low-power LPDDR5 DRAM chip has been mass-produced and Xiaomi Mi 10 is the first mobile phone with its LPDDR5 memory. Now, Nubia also said that all Red Devil 5G phones will be equipped with LPDDR5 memory.
Nubia President Ni Fei said on Weibo on Wednesday that the entire Red Devil 5G series will come standard with LPDDR5 memory. His Weibo post comes with a picture of Samsung LPDDR5 memory.
Prior to this, Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun said on Weibo that LPDDR5 is a leapfrog upgrade and has a huge impact on the improvement of smartphone performance.
LPDDR5 uses a 16-bank programmable and multi-clock architecture and introduces Data-Copy and Write-X instructions to reduce power consumption and link ECC error correction, he said.
This afternoon, Xu Qi, vice president of Realme and global marketing president, revealed on Weibo that the Realme 5G flagship phone equipped with LPDDR5 is coming.
For users, the most direct feeling is endurance. Micron Technology claims that because LPDDR5 runs faster, the App processor and operation speed are faster, so that terminals equipped with LPDDR5 will have a 5% -10% extension of the battery. If you use the highest 6.4Gbps version, you can achieve more than 10% battery life extension.
Micron said that the previous LPDDR4 can achieve 4K, 8K applications and pictures, picture editing. In addition, if LPDDR4 runs 100 apps at the same time, a bottleneck may appear, which is more than enough for LDRR5.
Micron's current LPDDR5 memory capacities include 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB, with data transfer rates of 5.5Gbps and 6.4Gbps. Micron will also apply LPDDR5 memory to mid- to high-end smartphones through UFS-based multi-chip packaging (uMCP5) in the first half of 2020.
