The GDDR6 memory chips will target a bandwidth of over 14Gbps, up from the 10Gbps currently offered by GDDR5. The new memory will also offer higher energy efficency.
GDDR6 memory slated for 2018
Posted on Monday, August 22 2016 @ 14:56 CEST by Thomas De MaesschalckThere were some rumors earlier this year about Micron sampling GDDR6 memory but that turned out to be GDDR5X memory. Now VideoCardz spotted Hot Chips slides from a Samsung presentation that talk about GDDR6 memory launching in 2018. Interestingly, the chart puts DDR5 in the same timeframe, whereas a slide from the Intel Developer Forum talked about a DDR5 ramp up in 2020.
