[PConline News] On January 18, Samsung officially unveiled the industry's first 16Gb (2GB) GDDR6 memory chip, marking a significant leap in both capacity and performance. This new chip doubles the single capacity compared to previous generations and triples the speed. Samsung utilized a 10nm (10nm-19nm) manufacturing process, achieving a pin bandwidth of 18Gbps, resulting in an impressive total data transfer rate of up to 72GB/s.
GDDR6 operates at a lower voltage than GDDR5, dropping from 1.55V to 1.35V. According to Samsung, this improvement leads to a 35% reduction in power consumption. While the U.S. had previously announced the availability of GDDR6 memory, its bandwidth was limited to just 14Gbps, falling short of Samsung's latest offering.
Samsung stated that the new GDDR6 memory will be integrated into next-generation graphics cards, enabling advanced applications such as 8K video processing, VR, AR, and artificial intelligence. These features are expected to push the boundaries of performance in gaming, content creation, and machine learning.
NVIDIA has also been working on GDDR6 integration, but there was no official announcement at CES 2018. The upcoming GTC 2018 event in March is expected to reveal more details about NVIDIA's plans for GDDR6 support.
It's speculated that the Ampere architecture will be the first to adopt GDDR6, as the Volta lineup doesn't include non-stacked memory options. Ampere is already making waves with leaks and is expected to make its debut at GTC 2018, equipped with high-speed GDDR6 memory. This could signal a major shift in GPU design and performance capabilities moving forward.
