The Korea Times reported that Samsung Electronics has introduced a 16-gbit LPDDR4X DRAM for automotive applications with a 10nm process. It boasts the advantages of high performance and low power consumption. The heat resistance is also greatly enhanced. The automobile needs to operate in extreme environments, and the 20nm process DRAM can withstand Celsius. -40° to 105°C temperature difference. Samsung claims that the heat resistance of the new product has increased to 125°C.
Samsung’s ambitions for the automotive business include mass production of 256GB of embedded Universal Flash Memory Cards (eUFS) in February. In 2016, Harman, a supplier of automotive parts and components, was acquired at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January this year. Show the prototype of the digital driving platform.
