Samsung Electronics is coming with a new chip that will make it possible for the company and others to build smartphones and tablets with up to 4GB of RAM.

Samsung has developed the industry's first 8 Gigabit LPDDR4 (low power double data rate) mobile DRAM.

According to PC World, Samsung said that by combining four of them, a high-end smartphone or tablet could get 4GB of RAM.

The memory increase and performance improvement offered by Samsung's chip will result in faster, more responsive applications.

The product also consumes less power than current memory chipsets, the company said.

The chip will start shipping next year and it will be used by large screen smartphones, tablets and ultra-slim notebooks, the report added.
