Since the world’s first Graphics DDR SDRAM was introduced in 1999, Hynix has played a leadership role in the Graphics memory market, by offering cost effective and high performance products.
Hynix’s newly introduced 3xnm 2Gb GDDR5 with 7Gbps speed (bandwidth of 28GB/sec with 32-bit I/O) required for high end graphics. In addition to improved speed and higher density, power consumption on the 2Gb GDDR5 is significantly reduced since it can operate on 1.35V power supply. This results in an estimated 20% reduction in power consumption compared to the 1.5V variant of this device, meeting Hynix’s commitment of developing eco-friendly products. Besides high-end graphics applications, the 2Gb GDDR5 may also be used in super computers and High Performance Computing applications designed with a General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) architecture. The 2Gb GDDR5 serves as high bandwidth memory to the GPU in this application.
Hynix will also develop 2xnm 4Gb DDR3 with 2.2Gbps speed (bandwidth of 4.4GB/sec with 16-bit I/O). And it will meet designers’ needs for most applications.
