Samsung Electronics launches industry’s first 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM to power next-generation high-end graphics cards
Combining innovative circuit design and advanced insulation materials , Samsung ’s new graphics memory will be the first GDDR6 to deliver speeds of up to 24Gbps .
Samsung GDDR6 complies with the latest GDDR industry standards and will provide universal compatibility for broad market adoption
Samsung Electronics, a global leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has begun dual-processing of the industry’s first 16 gigabit (Gb) graphics Data Rate 6 (GDDR6) DRAM is sampled and has a processing speed of 24 gigabits per second (Gbps). The new memory is based on Samsung's third-generation 10-nanometer (1z)1 process using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology and is designed to significantly improve next-generation graphics cards (video graphics arrays), laptops and game consoles, as well as -based artificial intelligence Applications of and high performance computing (HPC) system graphics performance.
“The explosion of data now driven by artificial intelligence and Metaverse is driving the need for more powerful graphics capabilities that can process large data sets at extremely high speeds simultaneously. With our industry’s first 24Gbps GDDR6 Sampling, we look forward to validating graphics DRAM on next-generation GPU platforms in order to bring it to the market in time to meet the impact of new demands.
- Daniel Lee, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Memory Product Planning Team, said
adopts innovative circuits. Design and highly advanced insulating materials (High-K Metal Gate; HKMG) minimize current leakage, Samsung's 24Gbps GDDR6 will be 30% faster than previous 18Gbps products. When integrated into advanced graphics cards, GDDR6 DRAM can be. Transfer up to 1.1 terabytes of data, or approximately 275 Full HD movies, in one second.
Samsung's GDDR6 DRAM design is fully compliant with JEDEC specifications and will be compatible with all GPU designs, facilitating broad market adoption of a variety of graphics solutions.
Samsung. The new GDDR6 lineup will also feature low-power options to help extend laptop battery life. Utilizing Dynamic Voltage Switching (DVS) technology to adjust the operating voltage based on performance requirements, Samsung will offer 20Gbps and 16Gbps versions, with 1.35V GDDR6. With approximately 20% higher power efficiency at 1.1V compared to the industry standard,
graphics DRAM is increasingly being sought beyond PCs, laptops, and gaming consoles, and expanding into other graphics-intensive applications such as HPC, Autonomous driving and electric vehicles . Targeting these emerging markets, Samsung’s GDDR6 will enable seamless 4K and 8K video playback while supporting demanding AI accelerator workloads
Samsung continues to lead the global graphics DRAM market and predicts high performance. The graphics segment will achieve double-digit annual growth over the next few years.
With customer validation starting this month, Samsung plans to commercialize its 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM to coincide with the launch of the GPU platform, thereby accelerating the overall high-speed computing market. Graphic innovation.
