Samsung LPDDR5 uMCP: flagship performance for low-cost smartphones
Samsung has announced the start of mass production of its new UFS-based LPDDR5 memory module (uMCP). It combines the fastest LPDDR5 DRAM with the latest UFS 3.1 NAND flash in a single chassis, delivering flagship performance for mid-range devices.
Among the advantages of uMCP, the company ranks high speed and large storage capacity with low power consumption. The era of 5G smartphones is forcing companies to look for ways to improve the performance of mobile devices and the new memory module is one of them. It allows you to enjoy 5G functionality that was previously the prerogative of only flagship devices. Examples include streaming, graphics-intensive gaming, and augmented reality (AR).
This is due to a 50% increase in DRAM performance, from 17 GB / s to 25 GB / s and NAND flash memory to 3 GB / s versus 1.5 GB / s UFS 2.2 based on LPDDR4X. The modules themselves are compact and do not take up much space inside the case – dimensions are 11.5×13 mm.
Manufacturers will be able to choose from 6GB to 12GB DRAM chips, and storage options will range from 128GB to 512GB. Samsung announced that compatibility tests with several global smartphone manufacturers have been successfully completed. The LPDDR5 uMCP solution will not be exclusive to Galaxy smartphones. But the first to get the latest memory chip will be smartphones from Samsung, which should be released during June.
