AMD IS TO STICK DDR5 memory on its upcoming ATI Radeon R700 graphics cards.
AMD said it is working with a number of leading memory providers, including Samsung, Hynix and Qimonda, to bring GDDR5 to market. Qimonda confirms it is delivering the memory now.
The firm said data rates supported by GDDR5 are up to five times that of GDDR3 and four times that of GDDR4 , enabling more bandwidth over a narrower memory interface.
The memory standard is also applicable tor stream processing, where GPUs may be used in parallel to address complex, AMD noted.
According to AMD senior graphics veep, Rick Bergman: “The days of monolithic mega-chips are gone."
In a statement he said, "AMD believes that GDDR5 is the optimal way to drive performance gains while being mindful of power consumption."
