Samsung Reveals New Fastest RAM for Smartphones

-

 


Last year, South Korean memory chip maker SK Hynix announced the world’s fastest RAM for smartphones called LPDDR5T, which was able to reach 9.6 Gbps speeds. Samsung has now beaten that record with an even faster LPDDR5X RAM, which can hit 10.7 Gbps, making it the world’s fastest yet.


This update comes a few years after Samsung’s 8.5 Gbps LPDDR5X RAM, representing a 25% upgrade in performance. But there are more upgrades onboard other than just faster memory.

Samsung can make 32 GB packages out of this new LPDDR5X standard, since these chips are based on a newer 12nm process, which makes them smaller, allowing for more capacity.


Samsung is marketing this RAM for AI applications as well since large language models (LLMs) that power modern generative AI like ChatGPT require a substantial amount of memory to run. This should benefit modern GPUs too such as Nvidia’s top-of-the-line RTX 4090, which is quite powerful but is limited by its 24 GB of VRAM. While Nvidia does offer professional cards with considerably more VRAM, the associated costs are staggering.

YouTube Will Let You Find Songs by Humming or Singing Them Remember  Google  Assistant’s hum-to-search feature? Which let you find songs online by simply humming them into your phone? That feature is now making its way to YouTube Music. The YouTube Music app for Android will soon let you hum to search, an implementation similar to Shazam, or like asking a friend “Hey what’s that song that goes…” right before you hum out a bar. You can also sing, whistle, or play a recording of a song to find it. If the feature has reached you already, it should appear in the search section of the app in the form of a new button with a waveform icon next to the microphone icon that appears when you press the search button. The app will start listening to your replication of a song as soon as you press this waveform button.    The YouTube Music feature works well with whistling and singing too, not just humming. However, it can make wrong guesses from time to time, but mostly f...
