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.
