Samsung will be mass producing 12-gigabit LPDDR4 mobile DRAM, and they suggest that their upcoming smartphones and tablets may have 6GB of memory.

In next-generation flagship devices, 6GB of LPDDR4 mobile DRAM will allow consumers to enjoy seamless multitasking and maximum performance within the latest operating system (OS) environments. Also, based on the new 12Gb LPDDR4, the 6GB package can easily fit into the same space used for 3GB LPDDR4 packages currently available, therefore meeting the need for greater design compatibility and manufacturing productivity in advanced mobile devices.
 
I'm rusty... but doesn't 12Gb at 8bits per byte = 1.5GB of memory? So each package (chip) has 4 memory 'modules' (dies?) inside to equate to the reported 6GB size?
 
DDR4 is ramping up bring on the 16GB and 32GB sticks of ram 128GB in a desktop :D
