Samsung has introduced its brand-new GDDR6 reminiscence that’s set to unravel the requirement of “large reminiscence and elevated computing energy” usually required by a workstation for creating objects and environments in digital areas.

The corporate calls this the “business’s first next-generation graphics DRAM know-how”, which sees conventional GDDR6 merchandise improved by including an extra DRAM machine to successfully double capability and bandwidth, with out the related impacts you’d usually count on like a bigger kind issue.

Samsung hopes that GDDR6W will make these good points utilizing the identical power footprint as GDDR6, which the chip maker hopes will permit prospects to make use of the newer know-how with out having to make drastic adjustments to present {hardware}.

That is managed by what Samsung calls a Fan-Out Wafer-Stage Packaging (FOWLP) know-how. 

The intelligent packaging additionally sees the normal printed circuit board (PCB) changed with a re-distribution layer, permitting for a extra compact design with finer wiring patterns, seeing a typical bundle thickness scale back from 1.1mm to 0.7mm.

The stacking concerned within the FOWLP building can also be stated to chop manufacturing time and prices in a world the place corporations and customers wish to tighten their spending.

“With GDDR6W, we’re in a position to foster differentiated reminiscence merchandise that may fulfill varied buyer wants – a significant step in the direction of securing our management out there,” CheolMin Park, Vice President of New Enterprise Planning, Samsung Electronics Reminiscence Enterprise, defined.

Samsung hopes to make use of its GDDR6W for AI and high-performance computing accelerators, but it surely has additionally introduced plans to carry it right into a smaller kind issue to slot in gadgets like notebooks. 

Whereas the likes of AMD and Nvidia are but to help GDDR6W, Samsung does plan to cooperate with its GPU companions to hurry up the rollout.
