The brand new DRAM is constructed on Samsung’s third-generation 10-nanometer class (1z) course of utilizing excessive ultraviolet (EUV) expertise.
“Engineered with an modern circuit design and a extremely superior insulating materials (Excessive-Okay Metallic Gate; HKMG) that minimizes present leakage, Samsung’s 24Gbps GDDR6 will ship 30 p.c quicker speeds in comparison with the earlier 18Gbps product,” Samsung says.
As some extent of reference, what that velocity bump equates to is having the ability to switch as much as 1.1TB of information (round 275 Full HD 1080p films) in a single second. Samsung’s 24Gbps GDDR6 can also be absolutely compliant with JEDEC’s specs and appropriate throughout all GPU designs, the corporate says, so it may discover its technique to vary of graphics merchandise.
In its announcement, Samsung particularly references high-end, next-generation graphics playing cards, in addition to laptops, recreation consoles, synthetic intelligence functions, and high-performance computing (HPC) techniques.
“Graphics DRAM is more and more being sought to be used past PCs, laptops and recreation consoles, extending into different graphics-intensive functions like HPC, autonomous driving and electrical vehicles. Addressing these rising markets, Samsung’s GDDR6 will allow seamless 4K and 8K video playback, whereas supporting demanding AI accelerator workloads,” Samsung says.
In any occasion, Samsung says prospects are within the technique of operating verification checks on its 24Gbps GDDR6, and plans to commercialize its DRAM in keeping with GPU platform launches.
