Compared with the previous generation GDDR5X single channel memory, GDDR6 will have dual channel, as well as pitch FBGA180 array package, compatible with the previous generation of different differences is expected in the future GDDR6 launch, the user will have completely different users Experiencing Micron's announcement of the design and internal certification of 12Gbps and 14Gbps GDDR6, industry insiders said it means that Micron has completed the most difficult part of the GDDR6 development process and that Micron should shift its focus to faster GDDR6 development.
At present, Micron's R & D personnel are moving toward 16Gbps GDDR6. The biggest challenge is not the data transmission, but the storage unit itself. Because the GDDR standard is updated, it usually only addresses the increasing frequency of the storage unit. Now the data interface transfer rate Also continue to improve, development bottleneck is not part of the data transmission interface.
Micron points out that although GDDR6 will be the top performance card memory in 2018, it does not mean that GDDR6 will replace GDDR5 very quickly. It will continue to produce GDDR5 graphics memory for some time. For example, Micron is now mass production of new 1x nanotechnology 8Gb GDDR5 graphics card memory. Even GDDR6 large-scale distribution of the market, there will be a period of adjustment than the expensive GDDR6, obviously GDDR5 will be more suitable for today's mainstream graphics cards.
