Micron unveils low-power DRAM for AI data centers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Micron has developed a new low-power DRAM, LPDDR5X, which consumes approximately one-third the power of DDR5 for AI data center workloads. This new memory technology accounts for less than 7% of total system power, potentially offering significant energy savings. However, the article questions whether this efficiency gain is entirely positive news for the industry. AI

IMPACT This development could lead to more energy-efficient AI infrastructure, potentially reducing operational costs for data centers.
