According to South Korea's Money Today, SK hynix is currently engaged in the development of yet another variation of LPDDR5. The mega supplier of DRAM and flash memory chips has publicly disclosed its LPDDR5 Turbo (T) design—going back to late 2023; this iteration was advertised as the "world's fastest mobile memory standard." The first public demonstration of LPDDR5T (10533) was performed at last February's IEEE Solid State Circuit Conference. Currently, the familiar LPDDR5X standard is prevalent throughout commercial channels. Insiders believe that a proposed new "LPDDR5M" design will be released as a lower power alternative to LPDDR5X.
Insiders reckon that the unannounced LPDDR5M standard operates at lower voltages (reportedly 0.98 V), when compared to current offerings (X: 1.05 V). Given the nature of its acronym—Low Power Double Data Rate—this memory type was first devised with efficient operations in mind; ideal for mobile applications. An industry mole proposes that internal company discussions have highlighted a key percentage difference: "at maximum speed, LPDDR5M is ~8% more power efficient than LPDDR5X." The recent Money Today SK news article mentions that older LPDDR4 standards are classed as "legacy products" by company leadership. In contrast, LPDDR5 variants are (allegedly) categorized as "high value-added products." The rumored addition of LPDDR5M is viewed—by regional memory industry watchdogs—as a fortification (and diversification) of SK hynix's strategy; that already encompasses LPDDR5X and LPDDR5T. Tipsters posit that LPDDR5M memory is destined to feature inside next-gen smartphone devices with on-board AI capabilities.
