Micron starts mass production of 12gb lpddr4x dram chips

Micron announced this week that it had started mass production of its first LPDDR4X memory devices using its second-generation 10nm process technology. The new memories offer standard data transfer rates of up to 4, 266 Gbps per pin and consume less power than previous LPDDR4 chips.

Micron begins production 12Gb LPDDR4X DRAM chips, cheaper than Mediatek's

Micron's LPDDR4X chips are manufactured using the company's 1Y-nm technology and have a capacity of 12 Gb. The manufacturer says that these memory chips consume 10% less energy compared to their LPDDR4-4266 products; This is because they have a lower exciter output voltage (VDDQ I / O), which the LPDDR4X standard reduces by 45%, going from 1.1 V to 0.6 V.

Micron's 12Gb (1.5GB) LPDDR4X devices have slightly less capacity than competing 16Gb (2GB) LPDDR4X devices, but are also cheaper to manufacture. As a result, Micron is able to offer 64-bit LPDDR4X-4266 packages with a capacity of 48 Gb (6 GB) and a bandwidth of 34.1 GB / s at a lower cost than some of its competitors.

The 12GB LPDDR4X DRAM is Micron's first product to be manufactured using the company's second-generation 10nm process technology, so Micron is expected to launch more DRAMs that are manufactured using the same 10-technology. nm. This means less energy consumption and higher frequencies.

Like other DRAM manufacturers, Micron does not typically advertise products prior to shipping the first batch. Therefore, at least one Micron customer may have already received their devices with this type of memory.
