Samsung delays GDDR6
 

Samsung has put the brakes on its release of GDDR6 memory.

Samsung told the Hot Chips technology conference in Cupertino this week, which placed GDDR6 firmly in 2018 and not 2017 as widely expected.

This is a bit of a shame as it will provide a connection between memory and GPU of more than 14Gbps. This means that the standard will provide total memory bandwidth of up to 512GBps via a 256-bit memory bus, and up to 786GBps on a 384-bit wide memory bus. Micron’s GDDR5X is currently the record holder on that benchmark with a bandwidth of up to 12Gbps.
