Following rumours that GDDR6 RAM would feature in next year’s lineup of graphics cards, manufacturer Samsung have stated<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>that we will likely only see the new memory in 2018.<\/p>\n

Digital Trends<\/a><\/strong> was in attendance at the convention, and says that one of the slides Samsung presented indicated that GDDR6 will offer more than 14Gbps (gigabits per second) of bandwidth.<\/p>\n

That trumps the current highest of 12Gbps offered by Micron’s GDDR5X memory chips featured on Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080.<\/p>\n

“On a 256-bit bus, GDDR6 could push up to 448GB\/s (gigabytes per second), and up to 672GB\/s on a 384-bit bus.”<\/p>\n

“The\u00a0 GTX 1080 pumps 320GB\/s by way of a 256-bit wide bus and the Titan X does 480GB\/s on a 384-bit bus. HBM2 and HBM3 will offer even more bandwidth, but the cost is higher and GDDR6 will likely find its way into many graphics cards.”<\/p>\n
