Micron Low-Power Memory Solution Boosts Mixed and Virtual Reality Experiences on Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2
19 Outubro 2023 - 10:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), announced today that its
low-power double data rate 5X (LPDDR5X) DRAM and Universal Flash
Storage (UFS) 3.1 embedded solutions are now qualified on Qualcomm
Technologies’ latest extended reality (XR) platform, Snapdragon®
XR2 Gen 2 Platform. Micron’s LPDDR5X and UFS 3.1 deliver next-level
speed, performance and low-power consumption in the smallest form
factors needed to support untethered mixed reality (MR) and virtual
reality (VR) devices. Micron’s LPDDR5X is the company’s most
advanced low-power memory, delivering power efficiency enabled by
its innovative 1-alpha process node technology and JEDEC power
advancements.
The global augmented reality (AR) and VR market is expected to
reach $200 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth
rate of 24% from 2021.1 Micron’s embedded products provide robust
XR-ready solutions to accelerate customer adoption and realize the
potential of this expanding market. Enabling concurrent processing
across multiple applications and sensors, Micron’s LPDDR5X and UFS
3.1 seamlessly integrate constantly changing presence, position and
sensory perception in the metaverse to create realistic, immersive
experiences for VR users.
While Micron’s LPDDR5X can achieve speeds of up to 8.533 Gbps
(gigabits per second), it is also backwards compatible for LPDDR5
speeds of 6.4 Gbps, providing device manufacturers with platform
integration flexibility while consuming less power.
“The metaverse has vast potential to revolutionize how we work
and play. Bringing this innovation to life requires
high-performance and low-power hardware that can keep pace with the
lightning-fast speeds needed for mixed reality experiences,” said
Chris Jacobs, Micron vice president and general manager of Micron’s
embedded market segments. “Our LPDDR5X and UFS 3.1 solutions are
ideally positioned to serve as the foundation for the next
generation of XR devices, providing the performance and power to
unlock rich virtual worlds.”
As announced on Sept. 27, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor was
developed in close collaboration with Meta and commercially debuted
on Meta Quest 3, Meta’s newly launched headset. The Snapdragon XR2
Gen 2 Platform offers a single-chip architecture to unlock
next-level immersive MR and VR experiences in thinner and more
comfortable headsets that don’t require an external battery pack.
Engineered to deliver a lag-free experience with breathtaking
visuals and fully immersive sound, the spatial computing platform
allows users to blend virtual content with their physical
surroundings and transition seamlessly between MR and VR
experiences.
LPDDR5X provides 24% increased power efficiency compared to
previous generations2 — optimal for untethered MR and VR headsets,
extending battery life between charges for the most optimal user
experience. At peak data rates of 8.533 Gbps, Micron’s LPDDR5X
enables metaverse applications with a 33% increase in data access
speeds,3 resulting in fast response times. Micron’s 1-alpha node
process technology, which underpins Micron’s LPDDR5X, provides
higher bit density, performance and energy efficiency for XR
devices.
Micron’s UFS 3.1 client storage is the world’s first UFS powered
by Micron’s 176-layer NAND with high storage densities in a tiny
footprint — freeing up space for more design flexibility in devices
such as MR and VR headsets with space constraints.
Micron’s 128 gigabyte UFS 3.1 and 8 gigabyte LPDDR5X qualified
for the Snapdragon platform are now available to the MR ecosystem
via Micron’s sales channels, distributors and partners.
