JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in the development of standards for the microelectronics industry, today announced the publication of JESD232 Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR5X) SGRAM. Available for free download from the JEDEC website, the new memory standard is designed to satisfy the increasing need for more memory bandwidth in graphics, gaming, compute, and networking applications.
Derived from the widely adopted GDDR5 SGRAM JEDEC standard, GDDR5X specifies key elements related to the design and operability of memory chips for applications requiring very high memory bandwidth. With the intent to address the needs of high-performance applications demanding ever higher data rates, GDDR5X is targeting data rates of 10 to 14 Gb/s, a 2X increase over GDDR5. In order to allow a smooth transition from GDDR5, GDDR5X utilizes the same, proven pseudo open drain (POD) signaling as GDDR5.
TRASTARO escribió:La organizacion JEDEC anuncia la publicacion de las especificaciones del estandar GDDR5X para sistemas graficos, el cual ofrece el doble de ancho de banda que el actual GDDR5, dando entre 10-14Gbps, que sigue sin ser comparable al ofrecido por el estandar HBM, pero que es mucho mas barato y permitira dar un impulso en rendimiento a las tarjetas de gama media y gama alta. Esto del doble de ancho de banda es porque usa un bus de 64bit en lugar de uno de 32bit del actual GDDR5.

Kris Kido, blog micron escribió:In a September blog post, I mentioned that Micron will be announcing the launch of a new graphics memory in 2016: GDDR5X. An evolution of the existing GDDR5 specification, GDDR5X was developed with a focus on increased data rates in the range of 10-14Gb/s, essentially doubling the bandwidth of today’s mainstream GDDR5 devices. It’s a product that’s going to offer compelling value and a better end-customer experience across a wide range of graphics sub-segments. We’ve made significant progress on the program since my September update, and I’m excited to share the details with you.
Positive Manufacturing Progress
There have been a variety of rumors in the industry about GDDR5X availability timeframes, so I’d like to clear that up from the beginning: Micron’s GDDR5X program is in full swing and first components have already completed manufacturing. We plan to hit mass production this summer. The team at our Graphics DRAM Design Center in Munich, Germany is doing a fantastic job, too. Not only do we have functional devices earlier than expected, these early components are performing at data rates of more than 13Gb/s! Memory components mature as they move through the development and manufacturing process, so to see first silicon performing at nearly full performance specs was a pleasant surprise—these early results are incredibly promising. Our first generation GDDR5X is an 8Gb (1GB) density manufactured on our 20-nanometer process technology.
Features
The JEDEC specification for GDDR5X was published in January. In addition to utilizing a number of proven features from the GDDR5 specification, GDDR5X incorporates a number of new features to meet the demands of next-generation, high-performance graphics systems. With first components becoming available, it is now proven that QDR mode is the path to achieve the industry’s fastest data rate (13Gbps and higher) on a discrete memory device.
Compared to GDDR5, these ultra-high data rates were achieved at an improved power consumption per transmitted bit due to VDD/VDDQ of 1.35V, while not gating maximum speed of the device. We also added features to improve system signal integrity: a new package with reduced ball pitch enables shorter PCB traces, which improves electrical performance.
Feature
• QDR mode
• VDD/VDDQ 1.35V
• 190-ball FBGA Package, 0.65mm pitch
Benefit
• Highest data rate in the industry – >13Gbps achieved to date
• Improved power per bit
• Smaller outline – improved electrical performance

This past weekend, I had the honor of attending the launch of NVIDIA’s new GeForce GTX 10-series graphics cards in Austin, TX. NVIDIA hit a home run. These new cards are absolutely incredible. Based on the company’s new Pascal architecture, these GPUs are manufactured on 16nm FinFET process technology and deliver amazing graphics with significantly less power at unbelievable price points. They are also packed with new technology and features that push gaming and virtual reality experiences to an entirely new level.
Particularly exciting is the GTX1080, the most advanced gaming card ever created and the first card in the world to use Micron’s GDDR5X memory. This card pumps out 9 TFLOPS with 2560 cores offering an unprecedented level of graphics performance and efficiency. Using a 256-bit memory bus, the 1080 packs 8GB of quad data rate GDDR5X at 10Gb/s cranking out 320GB/s of memory bandwidth. Jen-Hsun Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, raved about the benefits of GDDR5X during the launch event on Friday night:
“This memory is so fast. It is so fast … G5X, the fastest GDDR memory in the world.”
Designed by our specialized team of Graphics memory engineers in Munich, GDDR5X provides NVIDIA with an unprecedented level of memory bandwidth for their new GeForce GTX1080. The bandwidth delivered by Micron’s GDDR5X memory is the result of thousands of hours of teamwork by some of the most brilliant minds in our two companies.
I first talked about Micron’s GDDR5X in September 2015 and in February of this year, provided an update that the technology was on track for mass production by summer. Today, I am happy to announce that GDDR5X, the fastest discrete memory component in the world, has already entered mass production. With gaming and virtual reality driving continuous increases in performance requirements for GPUs, it’s a critical time to deliver higher memory bandwidth and efficiency, and GDDR5X is well positioned to help drive these new efficiencies.

Eso sí, parece que GDDR5X sólo va a durar un año, por lo menos en la gama alta ...
