It is reported that Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip is the first to support LPDDR6, and Apple A18 Pro supports LPDDR5T.
According to Korean media news, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will become the industry’s first flagship chip to support LPDDR6 memory, and the A18 Pro chip launched by Apple this year will adopt the LPDDR5T specification.
The report points out that the main reason currently restricting companies from deploying higher-standard LPDDR is cost, which requires foundries to purchase and upgrade complete production equipment. The report takes the vivo X100 Pro as an example, saying that the machine was reported to be equipped with LPDDR5T in November last year, but it was not upgraded in the end and used LPDDR5X.
As previously reported that the International Semiconductor Standards Organization (JEDEC) will determine the LPDDR6 memory specifications in the second half of this year, and Samsung and Hynix, the world’s two leading DRAM manufacturers, are stepping up production of these LPDDR6 modules.
The same source also noted that GDDR7 may debut in Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5000 series and AMD’s RDNA4 GPUs.
