Samsung's new 8GB mobile RAM could appear in Galaxy S5

Samsung has announced the world's first 8 Gigabit mobile RAM, which it says will increase performance in smartphones and tablets while reducing battery consumption.

The 8Gb low power double data rate 4 (LPDDR4) mobile DRAM will succeed Samsung's LPDDR3 memory some time in 2014, the company said in a press release.

Samsung said it will use the next-gen memory to focus on large-screened and high-resolution smartphones, tablets and ultra-slim notebooks, including devices with 4K displays.

And the Korean Media reports that the Galaxy S5 will be the first phone to use it.
