Samsung shows off its gddr6 memory portfolio

Samsung has released new information about its line of GDDR6 memory for graphics cards this year 2018, the company has unveiled different capacities and speeds to meet the needs of all sectors.

Samsung gives new details of its GDDR6

Samsung's new GDDR6 memory comes in capacities from 8 Gb to 16 Gb and with speeds starting from 12 Gbps to 18 Gbps. This represents a very important increase in capacity and speed compared to GDDR5, which is only capable of reaching 9 Gbps. For example, a hypothetical Titan Xp with GDDR6 memories and a 384-bit interface could achieve a quantity of 24 GB of VRAM.

This opens the door to new graphics cards with much higher amounts of memory than the current ones and a higher speed, something that can also be achieved with the HBM2 although with a much higher production cost than the GDDR6, that is precisely where the great advantage of the latter.

This new GDDR6 is also a very important step forward compared to the GDDR5X, which would soon cease to be used in favor of the new standard since it has only been able to reach a speed of 12 Gbps, much lower than the 18 Gbps they reach. Samsung's new memories.

Nvidia Ampere could be the first graphic architecture to use the GDDR6, we do not know if AMD will announce a review of Vega based on these memories, in order to offer a cheaper product than the current RX Vega 64 and 56, which have accused the great extra cost and low availability of HBM2 memories.
