According to a new report, the upcoming Vivo X100 phones will use LPDDR5T RAM. Many of you probably haven’t heard of it just yet, but that’s understandable, as not many companies used it, despite the fact it was announced in January. In any case, the Vivo X100 information comes from Digital Chat Station, one of the best-known Chinese tipsters.
The Vivo X100 phones could use the fastest RAM out there, LPDDR5T
Having said that, the LPDDR5T RAM is the fastest in the industry. It is 13% faster than LPDDR5X, as it operates at a data rate of 9.6 GB/s. LPDDR5X RAM, on the other hand, peaks at 8.5 GB/s.
The information regarding speed has been shared by SK Hynix, a company that makes these chips. LPDDR5T stands for Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo, in case you were wondering.
SK Hynix has also confirmed the compatibility of LPDDR5T RAM with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The tipster, on the other hand, confirmed that this RAM will be compatible with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC too.
Now, SK Hynix plans to offer a 16GB-capacity product. It will achieve this by combining multiple individual LPDDR5T chips, which will result in a data processing speed of 77GB per second.
LPDDR5T is very power efficient too
The company also says that LPDDR5T is very power efficient. It operates at the lowest voltage within the range of 1.01 to 1.12V standards. Those standards are set by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC).
SK Hynix basically used the HKMG (High-K Metal Gate) process in order to boost both speed and efficiency here. That way, the company has a product to offer that is above LPDDR5X, as we’re waiting for LPDDR6 RAM to reach the market.
The Vivo X100 series is tipped to launch in mid-November. Those devices will be the first to use this RAM, at least based on what the tipster said, so get ready.
