  • DDR RAM is found in desktop PCs and high-performance gaming or workstation laptops.
  • LPDDR RAM is used in mobile devices like phones and standard laptops where battery life and thin design are more important.
  • LPDDR5 offers a data rate of up to 6400 Mbps, while LPDDR5X should up it to 8,533 Mbps.
  • LPDDR5 supports two voltage modes: 1.05V © and 0.5V (I/O) while operating at higher frequencies and 0.9V © and 0.3V (I/O) when idle.
