Samsung Shrinks LPDDR5X Chips by 9%, Now Just 0.65mm Thick
Anton Shilov on August 5, 2024 7:00 PM EST - Posted in - Memory - Samsung - Smartphones - DRAM - LPDDR5X Samsung is announcing today that it has begun mass production of 12 GB and 16 GB LPDDR5X modules in the industry's thinnest package. Samsung's shrunken memory packages measure approximately 0.65 mm in thickness, making them 0.06 mm (~9%) thinner than standard LPDDR5X packages.
According to the company's press release, Samsung achieved this ultra-thin design by employing new packaging methods, such as optimized printed circuit boards (PCBs) and epoxy molding compound (EMC). Thinner LPDDR5X packaging help enhance airflow within smartphones, significantly improving thermal management, which means higher performance and longer battery life. Specific details about the thickness of these future memory modules have not yet been disclosed, though making high-capacity DRAMs thinner in general is an important thing.
