Samsung developed its next-generation graphics DRAM ‘512Mb GDDR5’ chip that has a transfer speed of 6 Gigabits per second (Gbps). The new memory will first come as a 512 Mbit chip and will operate at 1.5 volts.

“Samsung’s 512Mb GDDR5 will enable the kind of graphics hardware performance that will spur software developers to deliver a new level of eye-popping games,” said Mueez Deen, Marketing Director, Graphics Memory, and Samsung Semiconductor. The first GDDR5 chip samples have already been delivered but mass production is set to begin in the first half of 2008.
