Micron started shipping samples of new phone memory chips made with 1-gamma technology. The company built these LPDDR5X modules for smartphones that run AI programs. Each 16GB chip moves data at 10.7 gigabits per second. The speed beats older versions that managed only 7.5 gigabits per second. Power use drops 20 percent compared to earlier chips.
The faster memory helps phones handle tough AI jobs like translating languages and making pictures. Gaming and video watching also work better with the improved chips. Less power use means phone batteries last longer during heavy tasks. The 1-gamma process makes memory both quicker and more efficient. Heat stays lower when phones work hard on AI programs.
Micron made the memory packages 14 percent smaller than before. Phone makers can build thinner devices with the compact chips. Foldable phones benefit most from the space savings. The company plans memory sizes from 8GB to 32GB for different phone types. Flagship smartphones launching in 2026 will likely use these advanced memory chips.
