Samsung managed to snag 36 CES 2018 Design and Innovation awards, and the company took to a press release to acknowledge the honors, and shed some light on some of its upcoming products and technologies. Of particular interest to us enthusiasts is the presence of GDDR6 memory, which Samsung says is "(...) The fastest and lowest-power DRAM for next generation, graphics-intensive applications." this new memory is expected to process images and video at 16 Gbps with 64GB/s data I/O bandwidth, which is capable of up to 5 GB/s speeds. Additionally, Samsung said the new DRAM can operate at 1.35 V, offering increased power efficiency over today's graphics memory (which typically requires 1.5 V).

Ou seja, começam a ir para patamares HBM no que diz respeito a largura de banda.
 
A bom jeito a 1170/2070 usa os 11Gb de GDDR5X da 1080 Ti, a 1180/2080 usa 12 desses GDDR6 e guardam os 16Gb para a Ti e Titan. O resto deve ficar para as Quaddro não?
 
Assim de repente significa que um bus de 128bit (o que actualmente uma gtx1050 usa) passa a ter a largura de banda do que actualmente uma gtx1070 tem.

Bom presságio para as gamas mais baixas.

E o bus de 256bit já anda na largura da hmb1
 
Se assim for, as 1050ti aliados a mais cuda cores e melhorias de arquitectura que as ampere possam vir a trazer, podem vir a transformar o mainstream gaming 1080P muito mas muito melhor :D
 
Samsung Pre-Announces 16 Gbps GDDR6 Chips for Next-Gen Graphics Cards

In a surprisingly early revelation, Samsung has confirmed their plans to produce GDDR6 memory. The announcement was made as a part of Samsung’s pre-CES marketing campaign and does not disclose any dates or timeframes. Though it is worth noting that with speeds up to 16Gbps, Samsung's chips are the fastest GDDR6 chips announced to date.

Last week Samsung issued a press release covering its products that had been recognized as CES 2018 Innovation Awards winners. Among other things, Samsung mentioned a number of unreleased products, including the Exynos 9 Series 9810 SoC for the next Galaxy smarphone, GDDR6 memory, as well as the Gear IconX (2018) headphones. Though with a focus on the awards themselves, Samsung has released little in the way of information on the products receiving awards. And while it is clear why Samsung would decide to withhold details about upcoming products (competition, the company does not want to spoil the actual launch, etc.), it is noteworthy that CEA does not require participating products to be mass-produced, or at least have a clear commercial availability timeframe.

GDDR6 is a memory standard that is set to be supported by all three leading DRAM manufacturers, so Samsung's participation has been expected. Less expected was any kind of announcement or reveal before the memory is shipping, as Samsung is notoriously tight-lipped about forthcoming memory products. Consequently and unfortunately, the announcement itself contains little details about the ICs themselves as well as the whole stack of GDDR6 products that Samsung is going to offer. What we do know is that they will feature data transfer rates of up to 16 Gbps at 1.35 V.

Ahead of full scale production, one of the big questions on our end is which process and fab(s) Samsung will be using for this cutting-edge memory, especially with the ongoing DRAM shortage. A natural suspect would be Samsung’s 18 nm fabrication process for DRAMs, but the South Korean giant has not confirmed it. Yet another question is capacity of the said GDDR6 16 Gbps chips. Given the transfer rates, it is reasonable to guess that we are dealing with 8 Gb chips – especially since Micron and Hynix have already announced their own 8Gb chips – but we do not know this for sure.

Samsung is known for memory chips rated to run faster than competing offerings from its rivals. However, it's worth noting that AMD and NVIDIA don't always run new-generation memory at its maximum rated speed, often due to needing to nail down their memory controllers and firmwares. So the availability of 16Gbps chips does not necessarily mean that next year’s graphics cards will use Samsung's memory at its full speed.

Samsung Electronics Starts Producing Industry’s First 16-Gigabit GDDR6 for Advanced Graphics Systems

Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has started mass production of the industry’s first 16-gigabit (Gb) Graphics Double Data Rate 6 (GDDR6) memory for use in advanced graphics processing for gaming devices and graphics cards as well as automotive, network and artificial intelligence systems.

Se o preço da RAM descer, era fixe que o low end tivesse pelo menos 4GB de vRAM. AS RX560 existe versão de 4GB, mas as 1050 não, só nas Ti. Na proxima geração de gráficas e com mais HP é possível que com 4GB de vRAM no low end sirvam para 1080P medium/high.
 
SK Hynix GDDR6 Graphics memory has landed, available now

So there is some sort of 'product' sales slide deck series from SK Hynix, and it just got an update, GDDR6 graphics memory has moved in its status, and is available starting now. This reflects the availability of 10, 12 and even 14 Gbps 1GB chips.

First I want to say a thank you towards an anonymous user that goes under the tag "SH SOTN", nearly every day he reports news like shown today, much-appreciated man! Two product codes are listed, each holding two products:

  • H56C8H24MJR-S2C will be the 14 Gbps and 12 Gbps parts
  • H56C8H24MJR-S0C" will be the 12 Gbps and 10 Gbps parts
You can also spot an S2C denomination, that is a lower energy part. Basically, that goes a little like this: 14 Gbps is at 1.35V with 12 Gbps active at 1.35V. The S0C parts manage 12 Gbps at 1.25V, and 10 Gbps at 1.25V.

With GDDR6 now available, we do expect to see some announcement rather sooner than later. I honestly am not certain if we'll see any Volta based parts anytime soon given the current status of AMD Radeon cards, Vega is stuck with HBM2 and AMD's yields as the sales volumes show, remain low. Logic would actually dictate a set of refreshes from NVIDIA based on Pascal, then again that is speculation of the highest level. The reason I am saying this is that graphics card prices for Nvidia have risen as we reported a few days ago, indicating there is a shortage. It might simply be Nvidia clearing stock for the new stuff to replace it.

De notar que estes chips têm metade da densidade que os da samsung e com velocidades máximas substancialmente inferiores (18Gbps vs 14Gbps).
