DigiTimes reports that Intel willsourceLPDDR5X memory from Samsung for its upcomingLunar LakeMX platform.
Lumar Lake systems will exclusively use on-package RAM, meaning users can’t swap out or upgrade the memory.
However, the report didn’t explicitly state that Samsung is the only supplier of Lumar Lake memory.
Intel could also get the chips from Sk Hynix and Micron.
Samsung started mass-producing LDDR5X in 2021.
One possible advantage for Lunar Lake is LDDR5X’s 16GB minimum, which many consider standard for intensive tasks.
Meanwhile, Apple has received criticism for selling some M3 systems with only 8GB.
The lower-tier variants can operate on fanless devices.
Such devices would feature integrated GPUs utilizing Intel’s upcoming Xe2 Battlemage architecture.
Apple’s M3, or possibly its successor, won’t be Lunar Lake’s only Arm-based competition.
