[PConline News] On January 18, Samsung officially announced the launch of the industry's first 16Gb (2GB) GDDR6 memory chip. This groundbreaking development doubles the single-chip capacity and triples the speed compared to previous generations. Samsung is utilizing a 10nm-19nm manufacturing process, achieving a pin bandwidth of up to 18Gbps, which results in a total data transfer rate of 72GB/s. This advancement marks a significant leap forward in memory performance.
GDDR6 operates at a lower voltage than GDDR5, dropping from 1.55V to 1.35V. According to Samsung, this reduction leads to a 35% decrease in power consumption. While the U.S. had previously announced GDDR6 memory with a bandwidth of only 14Gbps, Samsung's version significantly outperforms that, showcasing its leadership in the field.
Samsung emphasized that the new GDDR6 memory will be used in next-generation graphics cards, enabling advanced applications such as 8K video processing, VR, AR, and artificial intelligence. The enhanced performance and efficiency make it ideal for high-demand computing tasks.
NVIDIA has also been working on GDDR6, but there was no official announcement at CES 2018. With the upcoming GTC 2018 conference in March, it’s expected that more details about GDDR6 integration into NVIDIA’s products will be revealed.
It’s speculated that the Ampere architecture will be the first to adopt GDDR6, as the Volta lineup doesn’t plan to include non-stacked memory products. Ampere is expected to be unveiled at GTC 2018, and it’s likely to feature GDDR6 memory for improved performance and efficiency. This could signal a major shift in GPU design and capabilities for future applications.
