Micron GDDR6X Increases Bandwidth and Capacity
12 April 2022 - 3:00PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced the volume
production of its new 16Gb GDDR6X memory, which is now shipping in
the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3090 Ti graphics card. The latest GDDR6X
memory, available only from Micron, features twice the capacity and
up to 15% higher performance over the previous 8Gb version. These
additional capabilities mean end users can experience razor-sharp
visuals, higher frame rates and outstanding performance in
memory-intensive applications like gaming and content creation.
Today Micron extends its performance leadership by providing a
new graphics memory with 16Gb capacity and running at an
industry-best 21Gb/s in the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. With a performance
roadmap up to 24Gb/s, GDDR6X is ready for data-hungry applications
of the future. Additionally, Micron’s innovative use of PAM4 signal
techniques in GDDR6X make it more power efficient than any of the
GDDR6 products publicly available.1
“The industry-leading capabilities of Micron’s GDDR6X memory
help bring new levels of realism and performance to the most
demanding applications,” said Mark Montierth, vice president
and general manager of High-Performance Memory and Networking at
Micron. “Micron is once again at the forefront of the memory
innovation powering today’s highest bandwidth solutions and built
with the advanced process and interface technology to enable
continued graphics performance leadership.”
As games and graphic rendering techniques become even more
sophisticated, graphics processing units require massive amounts of
data to move at incredible speeds, which can challenge system
graphics memory. Virtual reality gaming, 4K and 8K monitors with
240Hz refresh rates, and intense 3D CAD applications stretch the
limits of graphics systems. The unrivaled memory bandwidth of
GDDR6X enables these high-resolution experiences with ultra-fast
frame rates and near-instant rendering, providing users with
lifelike effects. GDDR6X capabilities, integrated with the GeForce
RTX 3090 Ti graphics card, improve real-time ray tracing and neural
graphics processing to deliver the immersive, cinematic effects
virtual worlds demand. The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti features 24GB of
GDDR6X enabling 40 teraflops of GPU performance.2
The breakthrough bandwidth of GDDR6X is possible because of
Micron’s groundbreaking work with PAM4 signal transmission
technology, which has revolutionized how memory moves data.
Micron’s PAM4 signaling technique means GDDR6X increases memory
bandwidth and powers system bandwidth up to 1TB/s, making it the
optimal choice for graphics applications that require exceptionally
fast, lower power memory. No other memory vendor offers this
capability.
The addition of 16Gb GDDR6X memory marks an important milestone
in the growth of Micron's Ultra-Bandwidth Solutions portfolio,
which includes GDDR6 and HBM2E. Together, these solutions comprise
the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of high-performance,
high-bandwidth products designed to feed data-intensive
applications.
