Micron to mass-produce the new 16Gb GDDR6X memory

by ·

Micron announced that it will mass-produce the new 16Gb GDDR6X memory, which is currently used in NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, with a speed of 21 Gbps and a capacity of 24GB. The new GDDR6X doubles the capacity of the previous 8Gb and improves performance by 15%, which means users can have a better experience in memory-intensive applications such as gaming and content creation.

Micron says innovations in PAM4 signaling technology in GDDR6X make it more power-efficient than other GDDR6 products. 21 Gbps is not the end of the current 16Gb GDDR6X, Micron plans to launch GDDR6X modules with a rate of 24 Gbps next, preparing for future applications that require massive data processing.

“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.”

The addition of 16Gb GDDR6X memory is an important milestone in the growth of Micron’s ultra-bandwidth solutions portfolio, including GDDR6 and HBM2E. These solutions form the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of high-performance, high-bandwidth products designed to power data-intensive applications.
