Sk hynix updates its catalog with hbm2 and gddr6

SK Hynix, one of the world's largest manufacturers of NAND and DRAM memory chips, has today updated its catalog to include new solutions based on the HBM2 and GDDR6 standards that will bring new generation graphics cards to life to improve performance..

More details of SK Hynix GDDR6 and HBM 2 memories

First of all we have the GDDR6 memory that will arrive initially on chips with a density of 1 gygabyte and speeds between 12 Gbps and 14 Gbps, with a voltage of 1.35V. The mass production of this report will start very soon while the general availability is expected for the last quarter of the year. The first graphics cards based on this memory could be released at the end of the year or the beginning of the next, let's not forget that these are the dates when the arrival of the new Nvidia Volta graphics cards is expected. Thanks to this new GDDR6 memory, it will be possible to achieve a bandwidth of 448 GB / s with the use of chips at 14 Gbps and a 256-bit interface, if we raise the interface to 384 bits, the bandwidth grows to 672 GB / s.

AMD Radeon RX Vega Nova outperforms the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

SK Hynix has also included in its catalog the new HBM2 memory that is available in 4-gygabyte stacks with a speed of 1.6 GHz, for the last quarter of the year the arrival of the stacks is expected at a speed of 2 GHz. In the case of mounting four stacks at 1.6 Ghz on a graphics card , a bandwidth of 819 GB / s is achieved, while the use of stacks at 2 GHz allows to overcome the TB / s. Everything indicates that the AMD Radeon RX Vega are going to use a two-stack configuration with a bandwidth of 409.6 GB / s.
