It is reported that Intel has purchased Samsung LPDDR5X memory and packaged it in the Lunar Lake processor

Intel plans to launch a new generation Lunar Lake MX chip by the end of 2024 or early 2025, aiming to compete with Apple's M-series Apple Silicon chips.

The Lunar Lake series chips will directly package memory, and users will not be able to replace or upgrade memory. If the news is true, Samsung will benefit greatly from this cooperation.

However, the report did not specify whether Samsung was Intel's exclusive supplier, which means Intel can still purchase memory chips from companies such as Hynix and Micron.

Samsung has been mass producing LPDDR5X since 2021. The speed of this standard is about 1.3 times that of LPDDR5, with a maximum transmission speed of 8.5 Gbps, which can compress a large amount of RAM into mobile devices. Previously leaked information showed that Intel plans to solder memory next to the CPU in Lunar Lake settings, similar to Apple Silicon products.

Intel may launch four Lunar Lake models, ranging from Core 5 to Core 7, with a memory capacity of 16 or 32GB and a TDP between 8W and 30W. Low end models can run on fanless devices.
