Future of Memory and Storage - Day 2 @ 10:30
AI-driven memory, memory-driven AI: LPDDR6-PIM’s Journey from Specification to Market
Artificial‑intelligence workloads are rapidly migrating to smartphones, laptops, and other edge devices, and LPDDR6 will provide the high‑speed, low‑power memory needed for today’s models. To meet the ever‑growing demand for bandwidth, Processing‑In‑Memory (PIM) extends LPDDR6 by embedding processing units that specialize in GEMV (General Matrix Vector Multiplication) next to DRAM banks. This reduces data movement and delivers both higher performance and better energy efficiency than an NPU‑only solution. The session will illustrate the performance and energy‑efficiency advantages of PIM compared with traditional methods, introduce the industry partners (SoC and memory vendors) involvedAttendees will gain a clear understanding of how PIM—offering higher memory bandwidth—can serve as an effective solution for the next generation of on device AI.
