NVIDIA boss says hbm is too expensive, prefers gddr6
Table of contents:
In a round of questions and answers, Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, has given his point of view why they have opted to continue using the GDDR6 memory, instead of the HBM memory that the AMD people continue to use on their cards. graphics.
NVIDIA prefers GDDR6 for its costs over HBM
During a recent question and answer session, NVIDIA answered about the possibility of using HBM memory in the near future, to which Jen-Hsun Huang was decisive, indicating that memory itself is not bad, the disadvantage of HBM vs. GDDR6 is its price.
GDDR6 memory is used by the new series of GeForce RTX graphics cards, based on the Turing architecture. GDDR6 exponentially increases bandwidth relative to GDDR5, as does HBM memory, but it is cheaper to manufacture. Even so, they assure that it is 70% more expensive than GDDR5, which would explain the prices we are seeing with respect to the RTX 10 series.
AMD's Radeon VII continues betting on HBM memory
One of the main complaints about AMD's new product in this segment, the Radeon VII, is its price of $ 699. This price is said to be primarily due to the 16GB of HBM memory it uses.
Looking at it from that point of view, of the costs, it seems that NVIDIA is quite sensible to bet on this type of memory for its consumer graphics cards.
