Next year smartphones will have up to 6 GB of RAM. That’s more than my laptop – Spider’s Web

Samsung announced that it has started mass production of a new type of RAM. They will be the first commercial systems LPDDR4 a capacity of 12 Gb made in 20 nm process technology. Less than a year ago, the Korean company presented a similar system with a capacity of 8 GB.

This memory will be characterized by a throughput of 4266 Mbps, which means that it will be up to 30 % faster than previous generation memory. It has to consume up to 20% less energy than DDR4 memory used in desktop computers. Samsung brags too, that about 50% of the increased productivity of memory in 20-nanometer range technology, so that the Korean company will be able to deliver to many different types of devices.



Samsung expects the new memory type will be used in many sectors of the market.

The modules produced just have to hit the modern laptops, cars, equipment of Internet of Things and, of course, mobile devices. According to the Korean company with a new type of memory it can be easier to create a memory package with a capacity of 3 or 6 GB. This means that next year we will be able to see the first smartphones equipped with 6 GB of RAM.

On the one hand there is progress, but … is not that an exaggeration? The latest iPhones have 1 GB of RAM, and a laptop, which I use every day, 4 GB. Moreover, a huge part of the laptops on the market is equipped with precisely the amount of memory and nothing indicates that this trend would have to change. This means that in terms of some parameters of smart phones will soon overtake conventional PCs. According to Samsung the new memory will allow consumers to smooth multitasking and maximum efficiency in modern operating systems.

Perhaps this is true. Just past experience tells me that Google is not trying to optimize your operating system. If you appear on the market smart phones equipped with 6 GB of memory, probably soon Android will be the amount of memory needed. What’s more, he will need that memory for the same tasks that seamlessly performed more recently on devices equipped with 1 or 2 GB of RAM.



I hope I’m wrong.

I would like to to believe that smartphones are better than PCs because of the growing popularity of virtual reality and the intention to introduce the Google function similar to that promoted by Microsoft Continuum. Just a few years ago, I had hoped that mobile devices will evolve so much that when connected to the appropriate accessories will replace our PCs.

The action taken by Canonical and Microsoft, who want to realize this vision, made good I believed that soon I will not need peceta.Teraz it turns out that the solution Canonical is of little use, Microsoft limited, while Apple and Google do not do anything to change the status quo.

That’s why I suspect that these 6 GB RAM on your smartphone remains the same art for art 10-core processors and screens 2K, and the average user will not see much difference between the three years, and the latest model. Unless it starts to get worse the older work. Of course, after receiving an update designed for smartphones with 6 GB of RAM.
