Gamers Nexus spoke with SK Hynix at GTC this week and learned that the company will likely begin mass producing its GDDR6 memory in July. Coupled with past history, this is leading to speculation that new NVIDIA GPUs will be revealed in the same timeframe.
As for other specifications, Hynix’s GDDR6 will run a 180 ball-grid array from GDDR5’s 170 BGA, enabling greater throughput from the extra pins. Hynix’s GDDR6 will operate upwards of 16Gb/s and ship in 8Gb and 16Gb densities, up from 8Gb densities only on GDDR5. Hynix’s GDDR6 should pull 1.35V and operate at lower power consumption targets, but we don’t have exact numbers right now.
