A regulatory filing reveals a developer kit with the Intel Tiger Lake-U processor offers LPDDR5 memory support. Previously, prototypes of the Tiger Lake-Y SoC were equipped with LPDDR4 memory so this definitely comes as a surprise. Tiger Lake-U is a chip for thin-and-light notebooks and convertibles. LPDDR5 consumes up to 30 percent less power than its predecessor so this is definitely a welcome addition for the mobile market. Tiger Lake is the successor to Intel's 10nm Ice Lake.
LPDDR5 succeeds LPDDR4X as the industry's next low-power memory standard, offering data-rates of up to 6,400 MT/s (versus up to 4,266 MT/s of LPDDR4X), and consumes up to 30 percent less power. This prototype at the EEC is sure to be using unreleased LPDDR5 memory chips as DRAM majors Samsung and SK Hynix plan to ship their DDR5-based memory solutions only by the end of this year, although mass-production of the chips have already started at Samsung, in PoP form-factors.
