Micron announced that GDDR6 was designed and expected to be produced in 2018
Display card is establishing the market at present of memory, from GDDR5 to GDDR5X and HBM2 have been popular for a while, the latest GDDR6 haven't heard too much news. Now, the United States department store companies Micron announced that GBPS has completed 12 and 14 GBPS GDDR6 design and internal authentication. Micron has said it plans to produce GDDR6 in the first half of 2018, and that it will now continue to grow.
Compared with last generation GDDR5X is single channel storage, GDDR6 will have double channel, as well as adding pitch FBGA180 grid array, compatible with the former generation of different difference. Expected future GDDR6 after launch, the user will have a completely different experience. The announcement of the 12 GBPS and 14Gbps GDDR6 design and internal certification, industry sources said, means that micron has completed the most difficult part of the GDDR6 development process, and that Micron should then focus on developing a more high-speed GDDR6 chip.
At present, Micron's researchers are moving in the direction of 16Gbps GDDR6. The biggest challenge is no longer the data transmission, but the storage unit itself. Because of the GDDR standard update, usually only the frequency of increasing the storage unit. Now data interface transfer rate is rising, development bottleneck would not be in data transmission interface part.
Micron points out that while GDDR6 will be the most top-performing display card memory in 2018, it does not mean that GDDR6 will soon replace GDDR5, and will continue to produce the GDDR5 display card memory for a period of time, such as Micron's current production of the new 1x nanoscale production of 8Gb GDDR5 display card storage. Even if the GDDR6 mass market spreads, there will be a period of adjustment. Compared to the expensive GDDR6, apparently GDDR5 would be more suitable for now the mainstream of the display card.
