On July 9, 2025, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association formally rolled out the LPDDR6 memory standard (bearing the specification number JESD209 - 6). Samsung made an announcement that it would present the world's inaugural LPDDR6 memory at CES 2026. This memory is crafted using a 12 - nanometer process technology. It attains a maximum speed of 10.7Gbps, marking an 11.5% uptick compared to the preceding LPDDR5X generation. This improvement comes with a substantial increase in bandwidth. To fully harness the available bandwidth, the memory expands the number of input/output (I/O) channels. Moreover, it integrates a dynamic power management system, enhancing energy efficiency by roughly 21%. It also boasts an upgraded security mechanism to ensure the integrity of data. Featuring a dual - channel architecture design, the bit width is elevated from 16bit to 24bit. Starting at a frequency of 10667Mbps and capable of reaching up to 14.4Gbps, it offers a theoretical bandwidth of 38.4GB/s. Samsung clarified that LPDDR6 is tailored specifically for artificial intelligence, edge computing, and mobile platforms. It can support complex scenarios, such as smooth multitasking and 8K real - time preview. The Android ecosystem is anticipated to bring this memory to the commercial market in 2026, which will propel a significant leap in the performance of mobile devices.
