What is it that you want to know about the RAM (http://www.engadget.com/tag/dram/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) in your mobile device? Usually, how much of it there is, and if you're a little more demanding of your hardware, maybe what type it is, too. Well, folk in the latter category might interested to know that Samsung has started production of 20nm (http://www.engadget.com/tag/20nm/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) 4Gb LPDDR3 mobile DRAM. As is the nature of smaller, more efficient components, the new chips promise to be faster (2,133 Mbps per pin, over LPDDR2's 800 Mbps (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/25/samsung-starts-baking-30nm-4gb-lpddr2-chips-packaging-2gb-mobil/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget)), and -- so claims Samsung -- a 20 percent drop in power consumption. With just four of these new chips, OEMs can have a 2GB offering that's still just a slick 0.8mm in height.
