SAMSUNG WITH ITS NEW 4GB DDR4 MOBILE DRAM

Samsung has been working hard lately and it paid off,Today Samsung announced its 8Gb (that's 1GB) LPDDR4 mobile DRAM chip. This is not only the industry's first LPDDR4 mobile DRAM, but it's also the first mobile DRAM to fit such a high density (8 gigabits) on a single die. Four of those dies can successfully be combined for a total of 4GB of mobile memory - an amount that so far has not been achieved commercially.

Fabricated on the 20nm manufacturing process, the new mobile LPDDR4 chips promises to be 

• 50% faster than the fastest LPDDR3 memory
• Consumes 40% less power at 1.1 volts.

Now thats an impressive feat and will be well received through out the entire phone industry.

The data transfer speeds the new 8Gb LPDDR4 DRAM chip can achieve are 3,200Mbps per pin - twice the speed of currently produced 20nm LPDDR3 DRAM.

Samsung also hints that the resulting 4GB RAM modules will be included in "UHD smartphones, tablets and ultra-slim notebooks," which paints a picture  about the jump in smartphone screen resolution going on now. Perhaps even the upcoming Galaxy S5 may be one of those UHD smartphones.

To utilize that kind of memory, the Galaxy S5 will need a 64-bit CPU architecture. Good thing Samsung promises it's 64-bit SoC will be ready in time for the phone's announcement (usually in the first half of the year).So we can expect the Galaxy S5 to be a heavily packed smartphone.
