Samsung has announced it has begun production on the first example of 12Gb LPDDR4 RAM on its 20nm manufacturing process.
According to Ars Technica, the new chips offer a 50 percent greater density than its existing 8Gb chips. This opens up the possibility of putting 6GB of RAM into smartphones and tablets (Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge+ currently has the most at 4GB).
Its greater density also means that the same amount of space would be used in a new 6GB package than with existing 3GB packages.
The new 12Gb chip is reported to be a little over 30 percent faster than the 8Gb versions, with a per-pin speed of 4266Mbps which gives a bandwidth of 34Gbps over a 64-bit bus.
