Samsung's Processing-in-Memory (PIM)

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!wrBL!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb38cdff5-a0de-4ff3-9084-3ea98bfeeccb_1903x1063.png
Samsung's LPDDR5X-PIM technology enables in-memory compute by implementing MAC units within LPDDR5X chips, allowing for high-bandwidth processing. This approach can achieve significant performance gains compared to standard LPDDR5X, but poses challenges for software due to mode switching and cache coherency issues.
