Hynix Tests 2.90GHz GDDR4 Memory

Hynix Semiconductor, one of the world’s largest makers of memory, announced that it shortly begins to sample its GDDR4 memory chips and plans to start mass production of such components early in 2006. The company also disclosed its plans to boost the speed of GDDR4 in the second half of next year.

At this point Hynix is gearing up to provide leading developers of graphics processing units (GPUs) its 512Mb GDDR4 memory chips rated to work at up to 2.90GHz. Such memory chips will be mass produced in early 2006, which means that by mid-2006 graphics card designers may adopt such devices for products sold commercially.

Recently Samsung Electronics also announced sampling of GDDR4 with GPU developers, but Samsung’s chips operated at 2.50GHz and were of 256Mb capacity. The company, however, noted that it planned to push the speeds up to 2.80GHz by late 2005.

Hynix Semiconductor said it planned to introduce 3.60GHz GDDR4 memory chips by the second half of 2006, which may indicate that leading-edge next-generation graphics cards will have 115.2GB/s peak memory bandwidth, more than two times higher than they do today.

115,2 GB/s
Qual XD-ram como a usada na PS3 tendo as GDDR-4 a bulir 115gb/s nos primeiros modelos!

Veremos a G80/R600 com direct_X10, shader model 4.0, unified arquitecture e GDDR-4

Que bestas. O mercado das gráficas tá animado. Ainda à uns meses 1ghz na ram da grafica era mt bom, agora ja falam em 3Ghz para "breve".

O que eu pergunto é:
E CPU´s para acompanhar isto?

Que venha la o direct_x 10 a ver se muda esta dependencia do CPU por parte das graficas....

Claro ! E depois toda a gente vende os FX-57 para comprar Durons 700... Isso nunca vai ser assim, vai ser sempre muito dependente... Essa RAM até ser usada ainda vai um anito praí No minimo uns seis meses, e se a GDDR3 de 1.2ns tá cara imagino essa GDDR4... É desta que as gráficas começam a custar o dobro dum FX-57...

Tás a gozar não ?

O objectivo da grafica aliviar o CPU nunca seria meteres um CPU mais fraquito.
