Sk hynix will have the hbm2 memory ready this quarter, new data
Table of contents:
SK Hynix is one of the top three companies in the manufacturing of memory for graphics cards, the company has updated the available information regarding its HBM2 memory to give a more specific date of its availability and more exact characteristics.
SK Hynix gives more details on its HBM2 memory
The HBM2 memory will be the main protagonist of the new generation of AMD Vega graphics cards that will arrive in the first half of this year. The SK Hynix HBM2 will be available during the first quarter of 2017 in a single 1.6 Gbps model, which translates to a base width of 204.8 GB / s for each 4 GB chip or about 420 GB / s for each chip. 8 GB capacity.
The AMD Vega cards should come with 8 GB of HBM2 memory, although the curious thing here is that the bandwidth would be less than the 512 GB / s offered by the Fiji architecture HBM, although limited to 4 GB. Samsung is another of the big memory manufacturers HBM2 and finally it could be the South Korean that supplies it to AMD due to the close relationship that the two companies currently maintain.
Nvidia will also make the leap to HBM2 memory with its Volta architecture, which is not expected for the domestic sector until 2018, which could mount a total of 16 GB of memory to achieve a bandwidth of approximately 800 GB / s. We could even see cards with more quantity to reach the TB / s of bandwidth.
