Foreign media reports that earlier this month, memory manufacturer Micron announced that it is delivering the world's first LPDDR5X memory product using 10-nanometer 1γ process technology. This is the sixth-generation 10-nanometer 1γ (1-gamma) DRAM memory product. It is Micron's first mobile solution created by EUV microfilm exposure technology, and further gains the industry's leading capacity density advantages.
In this regard, Micron also uses CMOS technology including the next generation of high-K metal shaving technology to improve transistor performance, achieve higher speeds, more optimized design, and smaller chip size, bringing double advantages of reduced power consumption and performance expansion to the 1γ DRAM stage production technology. Under this situation, Micron also further announced the LPDDR5X memory situation produced using 1γ stage production technology.
According to Tom’s Hardware's report, Sanjay Mehrotra, president and executive director of Micron, introduced the LPDDR5X memory situation using 1γ session processing technology at the third quarter of 2025, indicating that the performance of the new product is excellent, and the yield improvement speed exceeds that of the fifth-generation 10-nanometer 1β (1-beta) DRAM After recording the stage process technology, several key product milestones are expected to be completed this season.
According to Micron's approach, compared to products produced by 1β DRAM stage technology, the new generation of 1γ DRAM stage process products are expected to reduce DRAM power consumption by 20%, and at the same time improve performance by 15%, and in addition, the bit density is increased by 30%, which brings a very significant performance improvement. Once the product yield of 1γ DRAM stage processing technology reaches a level similar to 1β and is converted to production, it is expected to further significantly reduce production costs.
In addition to LPDDR5X, Micron also used 1γ DRAM stage processing technology for DDR5 earlier. Sanjay Mehrotra emphasizes that Micron will introduce 1γ DRAM stage processing technology throughout the DRAM product line, and will also be used in GDDR7 and data center products in the future.
It is worth noting that, in recent Korean media reports, the proportion of Samsung Electronics Mobile (MX) business department Galaxy S25 series mobile phones that adopt Micron's LPDDR5X DRAM will be higher than that of its own semiconductor (DS) business department, Micron 60% and Samsung DS business department 40%, which is contrary to the market estimate that the DS business department has obtained most orders, indicating that Samsung's supply chain strategy has been adjusted, which also means that Micron's technological progress has been recognized by the market.
