Micron Collaborates with Qualcomm to Accelerate Generative AI at the Edge for Flagship Smartphones
24 Outubro 2023 - 5:00PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), announced today that it is
now shipping production samples of its low-power double data rate
5X (LPDDR5X) memory — the industry’s only 1β (1-beta)
mobile-optimized memory — for use with Qualcomm Technologies,
Inc.’s latest flagship mobile platform, Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3.
Running at the world’s fastest speed grade of 9.6 gigabits per
second (Gbps), Micron LPDDR5X provides the mobile ecosystem with
the fast performance needed to unlock generative artificial
intelligence (AI) at the edge. Enabled by its innovative,
industry-leading 1β process node technology, Micron LPDDR5X also
delivers advanced power-saving capabilities for mobile users.
“Generative AI is poised to unleash unprecedented
productivity, ease of use, and personalization for smartphone users
by delivering the power of large language models to flagship mobile
phones,” said Mark Montierth, corporate vice president and general
manager of Micron’s Mobile Business Unit. “Micron’s 1β LPDDR5X
combined with Qualcomm Technologies’ AI-optimized Snapdragon 8 Gen
3 Mobile Platform empowers smartphone manufacturers with the
next-generation performance and power efficiency essential to
enabling revolutionary AI technology at the edge.”
As the industry’s fastest mobile memory offered in
speed grades up to 9.6 Gbps, Micron’s LPDDR5X provides over 12%
higher peak bandwidth1 compared to the previous generation —
critical for enabling AI at the edge. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 allows
powerful generative AI models to run locally on flagship
smartphones, unlocking a new generation of AI-based applications
and capabilities. Enabling on-device AI additionally improves
network efficiency and reduces the energy requirements and expense
of more costly cloud-based solutions, which require back-and-forth
data transfer to and from remote servers.
“To date, powerful generative AI has mostly been
executed in the cloud, but our new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 brings
revolutionary generative AI use cases to users’ fingertips by
enabling large language models and large vision models to run on
the device,” said Ziad Asghar, senior vice president of product
management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Our collaboration with
Micron to pair the industry’s fastest mobile memory, its 1β
LPDDR5X, with our latest Snapdragon mobile platform opens up a new
world of on-device, ultra-personalized AI experiences for
smartphone users.”
Built on Micron’s industry-leading 1β process node
and delivering the industry’s most advanced power-saving
capabilities such as enhanced dynamic voltage and frequency scaling
core techniques, LPDDR5X offers a nearly 30% power improvement2 and
the flexibility to deliver workload-customized power and
performance. These power savings are especially crucial for
energy-intensive, AI-fueled applications, enabling users to reap
the benefits of generative AI with prolonged battery life.
Offered in capacities up to 16 gigabytes and
providing the industry’s highest performance and lowest power
consumption, Micron’s LPDDR5X delivers unprecedented support for
on-device AI, accelerating generative AI’s capabilities at the
edge.
