SK Hynix Ships 'Turbo' LPDDR5T Smartphone Memory

SK Hynix, known worldwide as a top provider of semiconductors and DRAM, has begun supplying LPDDR5T DRAM to smartphone manufacturers. As disclosed by SK Hynix in a press release, LPDDR5T (the T stands for "Turbo") marks yet another improvement to the LPDDR5 (Low Power Double Data Rate 5) DRAM standard, this time pushing performance up to 9.6 gigabits per second per-in versus the 8.5 Gigabits per second per-pin enjoyed by LPDRR5X.

This means that SK Hynix has successfully accomplished the fastest implementation of LPDDR5 (and this may even be the last iteration of LPDDR5 before we start seeing LPDDR6). SK Hynix seems to think this is far as LPDDR5 can be pushed, anyway, since it claims this is "an upgraded project of the 7th generation (5X) prior to the development of the 8th generation LPDDR6".
