This morning, Micron released a technical article on the official blog that GDDR6 video memory has completed all the design work and passed the internal verification, starting with 12Gbps pin and 14Gbps chips.

In fact, people should see it, some Pascal graphics GDDR5X actually has reached 12GHz, such as the EVGA GTX1080TIFTW3ELITE, TITANXp also reached 11.4Gbps. PGM-11801

However, GDDR6 still has its own advantages, up to 32Gb single-chip (currently 8Gb and 16Gb), dual-channel, 1.35V voltage (1.5V relative to GDDR5), internal electronic interference reduction, the other manufacturing process is also upgraded from G5X 20nm Is 16 nm.

Micron said that now they can focus on improving production yield and faster development of GDDR6 video memory, after all, the theoretical limit is 16GHz.

Micron conservative estimates, GDDR6 memory will be commercially available in the first half of next year, but NVIDIA has long said that they will be the starting, after all, there are Samsung and SK hynix are preparing. BLE112-A-V1

Taking into account the CES2018 somewhat aggressive, it is estimated that in March GTC General Assembly, with GDDR6 Volta GeForce graphics cards will be released, but due to cost reasons, I estimate may only GTX2080 / Ti (imaginary name) on the use of Moreover, G5X is not bad.

In addition, rumors AMD will also GDDR6 side, because HBM2 cost is too high, inconvenient to Redeon production line popularity.

Dibotics, a pioneer and leader in real-time 3D laser radar processing for Renesas Electronics Corp., a leading global provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that it has partnered to develop a vehicle for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving applications Level embedded solution for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) processing. The collaboration enables system builders to implement real-time 3D mapping systems with low power consumption and advanced functional safety (FuSa). rur860

Currently, Lidar processing requires efficient processing platforms and advanced embedded software. The system manufacturer offers SLAM on Chip ™ (Note 1) by combining Renesas Technology’s high-performance image processing and low-power Automotive R-Car SoCs with Dibotics’ 3D Real-Time Location and Mapping (SLAM) technology. On-chip SLAM enables 3D SLAM processing on a SoC for high-performance PCs, and enables 3D mapping using LiDAR data without the need for inertial measurement units (IMUs) and global positioning system (GPS) data. This collaboration makes it possible to implement real-time 3D mapping systems in automotive systems with low power consumption and advanced functional safety.

Renesas Electronics and Dibotics Collaborate to Deliver Real-Time, Low-Power LiDAR Solutions Based on R-Car SoC

In response to the auto-driving era, the automotive electronics market continues to optimize the sensor technology needed for autonomous vehicles, including real-time HD sensing of the environment, precise vehicle positioning, and real-time sensor fusion. LiDAR has become the key sensor for autonomous driving because it senses very accurately the obstacles around the vehicle and controls the vehicle through real-time communication with the electronic control unit (ECU) over alternatives such as cameras and radar. The dramatic increase in the amount of data transmitted by lidar sensing technology will drive the demand for high-performance, real-time processing of large amounts of data. maz3091

“The seamless integration of Renesas Technology and Dibotics technology enables real-time, efficient solutions for advanced LiDAR data processing at the highest levels of automotive functional safety,” said Jean-François Chouteau, vice president, Renesas Electronics Global ADAS Center. For autonomous driving, Renesas Electronics is working with innovative partners to optimize the Renesas autonomy Platform for Renesas end-to-end platforms and we are pleased to announce the collaboration with Dibotics to provide disruptive technology to the LiDAR market. ”

Raul Bravo, CEO and co-founder of Dibotics, said: “LiDAR sensors will play a crucial role in all ADAS and autopilot functions, a combination that combines Renesas ‘professional design with Dibotics’ unique cutting-edge performance, Helping OEMs, tier-one suppliers and LiDAR manufacturers reduce development costs and accelerate time-to-market, and we are excited to work with market leaders such as Renesas Electronics. ”

Unlike existing methods, Dibotics’ Augmented LiDAR ™ software implements 3D SLAM technology, which requires 3D LiDAR sensor data for 3D mapping. It eliminates the need for additional inputs to IMUs, GPS or wheel encoders (Note 2), eliminating additional integration efforts, reducing BOM costs and simplifying development. In addition, the software enables point-by-point classification (Note 3), detection and tracking of the shape, velocity and trajectory of moving objects, and Multi-LiDAR fusion (Note 4).

The high performance of the R-Car enables it to run Augmented LiDAR software from Dibotics. The R-Car has low power consumption and meets ISO 26262 (ASIL) functional safety standards for high functional safety. Renesas Electronics R-Car is a groundbreaking part of the Renesas autonomy ™ Platform for ADAS and autopilot, providing a complete end-to-end solution from cloud to sensor and vehicle control.

IDC notes that the global IoT spending in 2018 is projected to increase 14.6% annually to $ 772.5 billion. IDC expects to spend $ 674 billion in 2017, a breakthrough of $ 1 trillion in integer levels in 2020 and a further $ 1.1 trillion in 2021; a CAGR estimate of 14.4% for 2017-2021.

TSMC, Apple and other large customers on the 7-nanometer manufacturing process under the strong sprint in the next 7-inch production sprint pace is expected to lead TSMC a new wave of growth momentum.

News, due to TSMC 7 nano-technology unparalleled industry, ready to go, kinetic energy look pretty next year.

TSMC is scheduled to hold a supply chain management forum on Thursday (July 7), marking a rare event for TSMC to hold two supply chain management forum events in a row for a year, highlighting the 30th anniversary of TSMC’s emphasis on supply chain partners.

The supply chain management forum, still co-CEO Liu Deyin featuring keynote speech, is expected to announce the sprint 7-nanometer process mass production, it will also announce the 5-nanometer trial production and production progress for the TSMC, and then write Lay a good foundation for operating peak.

It is understood that TSMC has won the next generation of Apple’s next generation A-series mobile chip exclusive production orders, led TSMC 7-nanometer mass production “did not play the first sensation.”

Industry interpretation, TSMC will hold a supply chain management forum this time, announced the sprint 10-nanometer process capacity and speed up the 7-nanometer production volume determination.

TSMC originally planned, 7 nanometer and 7 nanometer + advanced process, the former will enter mass production in the second quarter of next year, and the upcoming introduction of EUV technology 7 nanometer + process, will also enter the pilot production stage next year.

By the end of 2018, 50 designs will be finalized, including 7nm and 7nm + advanced processes.

In the second half of this year, as TSMC’s A11 processor was shipped in volume and shipped strong growth, TSMC paid a total of NT $ 251,207 million in the third quarter. It is expected that the consolidated annual revenue will reach 8.8% Rewrite the record high, next year in the 7-nanometer process volume production, continued to see the performance increase.
