Samsung has accelerated the development process of its next-generation LPDDR6 memory technology. The first customer of these new chips, which offer higher bandwidth and reduce energy consumption, is expected to be Qualcomm.

Samsung is stepping on the gas in the LPDDR6 memory process

CXMT’s completion of the LPDDR5X development process and preparations to move to LPDDR6 production in 2026 have increased the competition in the sector considerably. This situation has also caused Samsung to accelerate its development process.

The South Korean manufacturer plans to introduce its new LPDDR6 RAM chips to the market with the more advanced 1c DRAM production process. This production technology increases data transfer speed and improves energy efficiency.

LPDDR6 technology is of critical importance in many areas such as artificial intelligence applications, mobile devices, robotic systems and autonomous vehicles. The technological processes used in DRAM production are evaluated in a series starting from ‘1x’ and progressing to ‘1c’. Each stage pushes the boundaries of performance and energy efficiency further.

It is stated that Qualcomm will be the first manufacturer to use Samsung’s LPDDR6 chips. It has been leaked that the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor will support this memory and will be introduced at the Snapdragon Summit to be held on September 23. Samsung aims to establish a technical advantage over CXMT by introducing the new generation memory to the market early.

Although there is no official information about other customers, it is expected that other companies will enter the market soon due to the advantages offered by LPDDR6. So what do you think about this issue? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
