Samsung Electronics to End Orders for Legacy Mobile DRAM LPDDR4, LPDDR4X

What happened

Samsung Electronics has stopped accepting new orders for LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X mobile DRAM, fulfilling only existing orders before an official EOL. Production is expected to continue through 2024, with lines converting to newer memory types from Q1 2025. Bullish: This supply cutoff for legacy mobile DRAM will tighten availability, forcing customers to accelerate transitions and potentially creating spot market shortages.
