Samsung starts mass production of GDDR6

AlTech

Samsung has started mass production of GDDR6 using it's 10nm process.

 

Samsung says they'll be producing GDDR6 capable of 18Gbps versus the 16Gbps and 12Gbps that SK Hynix and Micro respectively advertised.

 

In a previous tnr post I mentioned that Micron stated that they're aiming for mass production 2H 2018.

 

It is expected that GDDR6 will be used in new PC Graphics cards this year and may end up in the GTX 11/20 Series and/or Radeon RX 600 series.

Samsung's GDDR6 memory is based on the company's 10-nanometer technology and offers double the density of the company's 20-nanometer GDDR5 offerings, meaning 16 gigabits instead of eight gigabits. The company promises an 18Gbps pin speed and transfer rates of up to 72GB/s. Further, the new chips will run at 1.35V. The GDDR5 predecessor has a pin speed of 9Gbps and runs at 1.55V.

The result should be significantly faster video cards for gaming and other tasks like video processing and Ethereum mining, if you're into that sort of thing. Samsung's press release says that "immediate production of GDDR6 will play a critical role in early launches of next-generation graphics cards and systems." The GDDR6 chips Samsung is producing will generally edge out what we're currently seeing in GDDR5X in terms of performance.

Samsung announced plans to produce GDDR6 memory way back in 2016 and revealed just a few months ago that January would be the beginning of production. It's not the only company planning to manufacture GDDR6, though. SK Hynix and Micron also plan to begin this year. Their roadmaps suggest that they'll open with 16Gbps and 12Gbps pin speeds, respectively, which are slightly lower than what Samsung is manufacturing right now.

 

So yeah, hopefully AMD and Nvidia will able to use this on the rumored upcoming 12nm Radeon RX 600 series and in the rumored GTX 11/20 Series Ampere silicon respectively.

I would rather have them produce more currently available DRAM modules then release new tech. The price of RAM is just sky-high compared to what it once was.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
