SHOCKING: Jedec - What They Never Told You

SK hynix introduces turbocharged LPDDR6, 33% faster and 20% more power efficient than LPDDR5X — 16Gb chips deliver 10.7 Gbps, uses 10nm node

SK Hynix has announced the successful development of its first LPDDR6 memory modules that operate at "over" 10.7Gbps. The new modules take advantage of the manufacturer's bleeding-edge 10nm-class (1c) process node.

New 'serial' tech will significantly reduce the cost of memory — HBM memory, that is, the sort of RAM only AI hyperscalers can use, but hey, at least they won't go after consumer RAM, or would they?

SPHBM4 uses serialization and organic substrates to lower HBM packaging costs while keeping bandwidth memory exclusive to hyperscale AI systems.
