The other day there was a closed presentation of the Semiconductor Engineering Standardization Committee (JEDEC), and information from the event leaked into the network. It was devoted to the development of new memory standards, namely LPDDR6 and DDR6. According to preliminary information, for the LPDDR6 standard they are considering data transfer rates ranging from 10.667 to 14.4 Gbps with a bandwidth of 28.5 to 38.4 GB/s. For comparison, the LPDDR5X memory widely used in smartphones has a speed of 8,533 Gbps and its improved version LPDDR5T has a speed of 9,600 Gbps. In the case of regular LPDDR5, this figure is 6400 Gbps. As for DDR6 memory, we haven't even chosen the type of signal modulation for it yet: PAM or NRZ. If we talk about the expected characteristics, the speed in the range from 8.8 to 17.6 Gbit/s with a potential increase up to 21 Gbit/s is considered. Final LPDDR6 specifications may be published in the third quarter of this year, while DDR6 specifics are expected by the second quarter of 2025. |
