Following video card on AMD chips using GDDR 5 memory , NVIDIA video card now uses this memory type . If in the initial production stage this memory released only the bankrupt company qimonda , then now Samsung, Hynix, Elpida and Winbond also release this memory.
hynix company reported that it mastered the production of GDDR- 5 microcircuits with 2 gigabits density on 40 nm technology. At the given moment, this is the most capacious and high-speed GDDR- 5 memories on the market. It is capable of working at frequencies to 7 GHz QDR. In comparison with 50 nm memory GDDR- 5, the energy consumption level was reduced by 20%. Default voltage is equal to 1.35 v.
The microcircuits GDDR- 5 from hynix production new generation will be used in the gaming consoles and video cards. Mass production of these microcircuits will start in the second-half 2010.
