Shanghai, China, December 12, 2022 — Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), a leading provider of memory and storage solutions, today announced that its LPDDR5X mobile memory continues to gain traction in the market, And it has been officially installed on Xiaomi’s latest flagship smartphone, Xiaomi 13. Xiaomi 13 is one of the first smartphones in the world to adopt LPDDR5X, which has a peak rate of up to 8.533 Gb/s.
Micron’s latest version, LPDDR5X, is designed for high-end and flagship smartphones, with a 33% increase in peak rate compared to the previous generation of LPDDR5 [1] . Compared with the 7.5 Gb/s rate achieved last fall, this full-blooded version of LPDDR5X has further improved the rate, providing strong support for high-bandwidth, data-intensive mobile experiences that require high-performance memory.
Raj Talluri, senior vice president and general manager of Micron’s Mobile Products Group, said: “As the unsung hero of smartphone innovation, ultra-fast mobile memory is critical to today’s realization of 5G, artificial intelligence and scenarios that require large amounts of data to be processed through smartphones. We have mass-produced and shipped a full-blooded version of LPDDR5X globally, which will help the mobile ecosystem create unprecedented new-generation terminal devices and emerging applications.”
In November last year, based on its industry’s first 1α (1-alpha) process node, Micron took the lead in sampling and verifying the world’s fastest and most advanced mobile memory LPDDR5X. Prior to this, Micron was also the first in the industry to introduce LPDDR5, LPDDR4X based on 1α node, UFS 3.1 and uMCP5 solutions based on 176-layer NAND. With this latest milestone, Micron continues to accelerate the market application of LPDDR5X and further consolidates the company’s product innovation and leadership in the mobile ecosystem.
Xu Chunli, vice president of the mobile phone department of Xiaomi Group, said: “The demand for mobile computing is increasingly strong, and memory with faster and lower power consumption is particularly important. Micron LPDDR5X is currently the most advanced mobile memory product, which can effectively improve functions such as mobile computing photography, local AI translation, etc. Experience. Xiaomi 13 is the first to be equipped with a full-blooded version of LPDDR5X, with a peak speed of up to 8.5 Gbps, which will provide users with more powerful computing capabilities and bring a more powerful and convenient mobile smart experience.”
Today’s complex smartphone processors embed multiple heterogeneous processing engines, and the increased performance levels of LPDDR5X memory are increasingly important for transferring large amounts of data to these heterogeneous engines. As mobile workloads become more complex, advanced silicon platforms require high data rates to ensure seamless multitasking across applications and enable AI inferencing, augmented and virtual reality, immersive image displays, and high-resolution imaging (such as night mode and portrait mode shooting) and other functions.
Micron’s mobile memory and storage solutions balance capacity and computational processing performance while meeting size, cost-effectiveness and power requirements, and are designed to drive next-generation smartphone experiences powered by 5G and AI. Micron has established deep partnerships with global smartphone manufacturers and silicon platform partners to bring a better experience to the mobile ecosystem by providing low-power and high-performance solutions, broad technical expertise and investment in innovation .
