Samsung's GDDR4 Speeds Up Graphics Memory
Having already proven their competence as a major provider to the high-end graphics memory market, Samsung are pushing the limit by speeding up what was already the world’s fastest graphic memory series, by two thirds. | Samsung’s addition to the high-performance memory market segment is the GDDR4 (series four of graphics double-data-rate memory). “Our new GDDR4 memory will add even more zip in video applications, making gaming, computer-aided design and video editing a lot faster than ever before,” said Mueez Deen, marketing director, graphics memory, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. “This will enable ultra-smooth movements in animation, making games incredibly realistic, resulting in a truly immersive experience,” he added. |  | | For the uninitiated, graphics memory processes video images in desktop PCs, notebooks, and workstations to move huge volumes of video simultaneously. And for the fully-fledged tech-know-alls, Samsung has managed the enhancement by using 80-nanometer production technology. The 4Gb/s (2.0GHz) is 66 percent faster than today’s fastest commercially available memory a 2.4Gb/s GDDR4. The new 4G b/s graphics memory, offered in a 512Mb density, has a 32-bit data bus configuration. GDDR4 uses JEDEC-approved standards for signal noise reduction to help attain the highest possible speed. Samsung claim that manufacturers of graphics processing units and video cards have been showing plenty of interest. Customer sampling sessions will start later this month, so we can expect to watch demand for the GDDR4 memory enhancement increase over the next 12-18 months or so. |
