Graphics RAM GDDR5

 

Qimonda GDDR5 introduces features and functions that go beyond previous GDDR standards and enables today’s GDDR5 to operate at data rates of 5 Gbps. The GDDR5 combines highest performance with stable system operation and low implementation costs.



Memory bandwidth is a key factor in the rapidly increasing 3D rendering performance of PC graphics systems and game consoles. Over the last years, the memory
bandwidth of graphics DRAMs grew by nearly 30% per year. Bandwidth of graphics memory systems exceeds those of PC main memory by far.

GDDR5 introduces features and functions that go beyond previous GDDR standards and enables GDDR5 to operate at data rates up to 6 Gbps, three times the performance of todays high speed GDDR3. The GDDR5 combines highest performance with stable system operation and low implementation costs.
