SK Hynix has 8 GB LPDDR4

SK Hynix has joined Samsung with its ability to deliver LPDDR4 8GB memory for the future phones and tablets. Fudzilla expects to see quite a few phones with 8GB or RAM in the high-end part of the market next year, but we think that 8GB is pure marketing and unnecessary for most phone tasks.

SK Hynix is using mature 21nm manufacturing processes while some expect to see a smaller version of these RAM chips manufactured in 16nm or even 10nm. This would further reduce the RAM power consumption and SK Hynix announced its plans for 10nm transition starting in 2017.

Most of the GPU lovers know the SK Hynix for its innovative HBM memory but the company is doing a great job in mobile memory solutions. This is where it competes with the memory giant Samsung.
