MediaTek Dimensity 9400: Fastest LPDDR5X RAM Chipset

Samsung revealed the industry's fastest LPDDR5X RAM in April, boasting data transfer speeds up to 10.7Gbps. Recently, the tech giant finalized the verification of this advanced memory in partnership with MediaTek.

For testing, Samsung combined MediaTek’s upcoming flagship Dimensity 9400 processor with 16GB of the new LPDDR5X RAM. Samsung noted that the testing process spanned three months, indicating a considerable duration.

Expected Release and Performance

MediaTek has not yet disclosed specific details about the test or the Dimensity 9400. However, it is now anticipated that the Dimensity 9400 will be the first chip to utilize this innovative RAM technology. MediaTek has only confirmed that the SoC will be released in the second half of 2024.

Samsung’s LPDDR5X RAM promises a 25% increase in both power efficiency and performance over the previous generation. Additionally, the new memory is designed to enhance on-device AI capabilities, such as voice-to-text generation.

Broader Applications

The application of LPDDR5X RAM may extend beyond smartphones, as these chips are also being utilized in the automotive sector, particularly for AI-driven features like autonomous driving.

JC Hsu, Corporate Senior Vice President at MediaTek, commented on the development, stating, “This collaboration with Samsung Electronics has positioned MediaTek’s next-generation Dimensity chipset as the world’s first to be validated for LPDDR5X speeds. This translates to unprecedented levels of AI functionality and mobile performance. The updated architecture empowers developers and users to leverage advanced AI capabilities and enjoy a wider range of features with minimal impact on battery life.”

The actual impact of this new hardware combination on real-world performance remains to be seen. With details on the Dimensity 9400 still under wraps, we will have to wait for the official launch to fully understand the chipset’s capabilities.
