SK hynix said on Tuesday that it developed a new memory chip designed to improve performance and reduce power consumption in smartphones and tablets as demand grows for devices that can run AI directly on the device.
 
The chip is a 16-gigabit low-power double data rate memory 6 (LPDDR6) mobile dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM, built using the company\u2019s sixth-generation 10-nanometer-class (1c) process.

SK hynix first unveiled the product at CES 2026 in Las Vegas in January and has now completed development certification, marking the world\u2019s first LPDDR6 chip built on the 1c process.
 
LPDDR chips are designed to operate at lower voltages to reduce power consumption in portable devices. The LPDDR6 chip built with the 1c process targets smartphones and tablets designed to run on-device AI, which processes tasks directly on devices without relying on cloud servers.
 
Samsung Electronics introduced the world’s first LPDDR6 chip using its fifth-generation 10-nanometer-class process in November last year. The product received a CES Innovation Award from the Consumer Technology Association.
 
SK hynix said the sixth-generation LPDDR6 increases bandwidth to expand the amount of data transferred per unit of time, raising data processing speeds by 33 percent compared to LPDDR5.
 
The chip also reduces power consumption by more than 20 percent by applying dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, which adjusts voltage and frequency based on device usage. The system uses maximum bandwidth during high-performance tasks such as gaming and lowers frequency and voltage during routine use.
 
The chip operates at a base speed of 10.7 gigabits per second.
 
\u201cMobile devices equipped with 1c LPDDR6 will offer longer battery life and optimized multitasking compared to previous generations,\u201d SK hynix said. \u201cWe will complete preparations for mass production in the first half of the year and begin supplying the product in the second half.\u201d <\/p>\n
