Sources close to SK Hynix have reported that the company will start mass production of its GDDR6 memory in just three months, this means that the arrival of a new generation of graphics cards would be possible in the second half of the year.

SK Hynix to supply GDDR6 memory to Nvidia

In this way SK Hynix would join Micron and Samsung as providers of GDDR6 memory for Nvidia, initially the production of this memory could be quite low, so the graphics giant will collaborate with the three to ensure a sufficient supply. Nvidia is expected to use GDDR6 memory in all the new cards it puts on the market. The use of GDDR6 in mid-range and low-end cards would allow achieving the same bandwidth as with GDDR5, but using fewer chips, this could make a greater number of cards to meet high demand.

The SK Hynix GDDR6 memory is expected to reach a speed of 16 Gb / s, which is a significant increase over the GDDR5, which reaches 9 Gb / s. A single 16Gb GDDR6 chip can deliver the performance and speed of two GDDR5 chips with lower levels of power consumption.

GDDR6 memory will be 20% more expensive to produce than GDDR5, although this will improve over time as production increases.
