From Stagnation to Acceleration The Turning Point of Smartphone DRAM Starting from 2025
Overview:
• Contrary to initial expectations, memory density has either stagnated or declined even after the integration of Gen AI features in smartphones.
• This is largely because most Gen AI tasks still rely on cloud-based processing rather than on-device AI.
• New generative AI images and concerns over security, on-device AI is getting more attention. By 2025, premium Gen AI smartphones are expected to come standard with 12GB of DRAM or more, preparing on-device AI.
