Samsung company is ready to begin deliveries of GDDR5 chips memory density 8 Gbps, enabling the video card equipped with 8 GB memory, to be satisfied with eight seats. In addition, these devices are capable of operating at frequencies of 8.7 GHz QDR, which is consistent with the interests of modern graphics cards producers .
Micron company also have similar plans . By the way, most of Micron representatives comments on the profile of the conference was devoted to a discussion of market trends (shift in demand in the mobile segment), plans for mass production drives with memory type TLC for the consumer market (start at the end of the second quarter), as well as the pace of the transition to 16 nm technology (NAND) and 20-nm technology (DRAM). By the way, by the end of the first quarter Micron half of their drives for the consumer market will be equipped with 16-nm memory.
Laconic phrase touched and memory type GDDR5. As it turned out, Micron already provides its customers two memory chips in an 8-gigabit arrangement. If we assume that we are talking about AMD and NVIDIA, it can be argued that the product range of partners from both companies may appear video card with 8 GB GDDR5 memory .
An interesting statement made Micron management and the prospects for the market type DDR4 memory . According to them, as soon as the memory of this type will be significantly more expensive DDR3, and this year it will allow the company to increase the average selling price of chip RAM. However, in the next 12 months, according to Micron, market DDR4 memory only begins to take shape.
