Since HBM2E is no longer used in gaming GPUs due to its price, the highest performing graphic memory is now the PAM4-based GDDR6X, developed by Micron for Nvidia and reaching transfer rates of up to 21.0 GHz. However, it could now be outperformed by the classic GDDR6. Samsung has announced 20GHz and even 24GHz samples of GDDR6 (or GDDR6+?), that could bring about a 50% bandwidth increase when compared to current GDDR6.

DDR5 memory modules for PCs have arrived on the market only recently so their replacement should be many years away (the span between the introduction of DDR4 and DDR5 has been more than seven years). But Samsung, as one of the main memory modules producers, has now announced more distant plans for the successors of the DDR5 memory (DDR6), but also new graphic memory, to replace GDDR6 and GDDR6X at the Tech Day 2021 conference.

Next-gen Nvidia GeForce GPUs are almost here, with reveal on September 1th, but we have interesting new information on them like some specs for the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. But more importantly, it turns out Ampere introduces a complely new memory. Micron has confirmed developping special GDDR6X chips for Nvidia that will increase clocks and bandwidth by 50% over GDDR6. So what do we know so far? Read more “Ampere GPU: new PAM4-based GDDR6X memory & more details”
