Samsung is a truly multifaceted company and it is thanks to her (sometimes) that we can use our smartphones. Some components such as batteries or RAM modules they are produced by her. This means that other companies such as Oppo, Xiaomi, vivo and company buy from her and then assemble. well, precisely with regard to fast memory, we know that many news will be waiting for us. One of these is the increase of intelligence thanks to the LPDDR5-PIM RAM. Let's see what it is.
Samsung's LPDDR5-PIM RAM memory promises to increase process capacity and intelligence itself. Here are all the news
Samsung revealed that its in-memory processing (PIM) technology is coming to the RAM used in smartphones. This adds to the technological arrival in DRAM modules and high-bandwidth memory. "Samsung's LPDDR5-PIM mobile memory technology can provide independent AI capabilities without data center connectivity“, The company noted in the press release.

"Simulation tests have shown that LPDDR5-PIM RAM can more than double performance while reducing power consumption by more than 60% when used in applications such as speech recognition, translation and chatbotNotes Samsung. However, there are still some gray spots. It is unclear whether the IMP takes the form of a real one processor connected to the RAM module itself or whether it is simply a suite of optimizations and algorithms. If it's really a real chip, we wonder if third-party developers will be able to access it for their own needs.
It is also unclear how powerful this technology is and whether it is capable of handle more advanced tasks such as image processing and artificial reality. After all, many smartphones have chipsets that are more than capable of performing advanced machine learning tasks.
Samsung has not revealed when we will actually see this RAM in smartphones, although it aims to complete the standardization of PIM technology in the first half of the 2022.
