On July 16, Micron announced new capacity variants for its 1γ-process LPDDR5X low-power memory – 6GB, 12GB, and 24GB – complementing the existing 16GB offering to cover entry-level to flagship devices.

The 1γ node is Micron’s first EUV-based 6th-gen 10nm-class DRAM, first sampled in June 2025. It delivers up to 10.7Gbps data rate, up to 20% lower power than 1β, and a package thickness of just 0.61mm – 14% thinner than previous generation – ideal for slim mobile designs.

6GB targets entry-tier, 12GB fills mainstream gaps alongside existing 8GB/16GB, while 24GB serves flagship edge AI workloads. The new line offers ~11% faster speed over 9.6Gbps and >15% power savings in mobile platforms.

Packaging options include 496b PoP for premium phones, 245b FBGA for mainstream, and 563b/315b for PC – with 563b offering better thermal performance. Samples are now with ecosystem partners for validation and mass-production ramp.

According to industry forecasts, the LPDDR5X market is projected to grow from $8.73 billion in 2025 to $10.92 billion in 2026, driven by edge AI device proliferation.

From ICgoodFind: Non-binary capacities mean zero-waste design for edge AI. Micron’s 1γ LPDDR5X now spans every tier – from budget phones to flagship LLM-on-device – and that flexibility is exactly what the market needs.
