LPDDR5X memory chips have found application in the server segment, although they were originally intended for mobile devices, and as Vera Rubin generation systems become more widespread in the market, this trend will become even more pronounced. SK hynix today reported on the start of mass production of 192 GB SOCAMM2 memory modules on LPDDR5X chips.
SK hynix manufactures the corresponding memory using its next-generation 10nm (1c) process technology, which is the sixth generation of the corresponding lithographic standards. According to SK hynix, this SOCAMM2 memory provides twice the bandwidth of conventional RDIMM modules and 75% higher power efficiency. SOCAMM2 memory is equally effective for both training AI models and inference, which uses large language models with hundreds of billions of parameters. The use of LPDDR5X reduces power consumption, which positively impacts the operating costs of the entire computing infrastructure.
According to SK hynix, it is already ready to supply cloud providers with SOCAMM2 memory in 192GB modules in significant quantities. Nvidia won't be the only platform provider supporting SOCAMM2 memory, as AMD is expected to launch it next year. introduce the Verano platform, which also ensures compatibility with such memory modules. In addition to SK hynix, SOCAMM2 modules of this capacity are also supplied by Micron and Samsung Electronics.
