Micron has quietly started mass production of its GDDR6X memory chips, which feature 24 GT/s data transfer speeds. The new memory device will be used in some of Nvidia’s upcoming high-end GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards based on the Ada Lovelace architecture.
New from Micron 24GT/s GDDR6X chip It has a capacity of 16Gb (2GB) and can be used to build a graphics card with onboard memory ( @harukaze5719). These ICs will be used in Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card and are expected to feature 24 GB of GDDR6X memory connected to the GPU using a 384-bit memory bus (so Nvidia uses (assuming it provides a peak memory bandwidth of 1.152 TBps). memory at maximum rated speed). Others in the lineup are rumored to use his slower GDDR6X devices with data transfer speeds of up to 21 GT/s.
Additionally, 24 GT/s GDDR6X memory chips are predicted to be used in Nvidia’s next-generation flagship graphics board, now known as The Beast (sometimes referred to as the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti), with It has 48GB of memory. of the card (and likely to be the best graphics card available in terms of raw performance in the coming months).
Nvidia is rumored to officially announce its GeForce RTX 40 series ‘Ada Lovelace’ products this fall. Therefore, the time has come for Micron to start mass production of its next-generation GDDR6X memory chips with data transfer speeds of up to 24 GT/s.
Neither Nvidia nor Micron have officially commented on usage scenarios for their 24 GT/s GDDR6X memory chips, so take any unofficial information about Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40 series lineup as informative. Meanwhile, Micron is definitely starting production of this memory for one of his customers. Currently the only company that supports GDDR6X is Nvidia.
It’s worth noting that Samsung has been sampling 24 GT/s GDDR6 (not GDDR6X) memory chips since December 2021.
