Micron delivers GDDR6 as NVIDIA launch partner on GeForce RTX

Micron delivers GDDR6 as NVIDIA launch partner on GeForce RTX

In blog Micron shares, a word or two about their collaboration with NVIDIA and the Micron GDDR6 used on the cards. Developing high bandwidth gaming capability is not easy. 

-- Micron -- It takes the understanding of the systems which means integrating the best GPUs in a connected network with the highest appropriate and affordable memory.  These have to be married to enable the applications to be effortlessly implemented. The biggest challenge continues to be offering a cost optimized DRAM solution that meets high bandwidth requirements. For that reason, GDDR6 continues the successful path of discrete component packaging, further pushing the device performance, now to 14Gbps in mass production.

Collaboration of market and technology experts is required to craft and create gaming solutions; to discuss and align roadmap plans, to mediate and work through the development cycle through testing and validation. This takes time, patience, coordination.

The GDDR6 execution and timeline of perfectly orchestrated development, beginning with the GDDR6 announcement in October 2017; ecosystem enablement in January 2018, to the mass production readiness in June 2018, came to glorious light this past week with the launch of the new generation of graphics—the GeForce RTX™ 20-series, the world’s first consumer GPUs to feature real world ray tracing along with high speed GDDR6 memory.

"It has been a great journey to work with Micron across several generations of graphics solutions," stated Justin Walker, director of GeForce desktop at NVIDIA. "Early efforts with GDDR5 and GDDR5X helped to strengthen the relationship and build a highly collaborative effort between NVIDIA and Micron to deliver GDDR6 in lock step."

"From the Micron perspective, we see markets and applications adopting the capability and value which NVIDIA and Micron have created leading to the adoption and deployment beyond graphics," replied Ralf Ebert, Director of Graphics segment for Micron compute and networking business unit. "The capability of our joint effort to bring to market the next generation gaming solutions has created a demand. When gamers see what the new GeForce RTX™ GPUs will do for gaming, there will be many astounded users!"

Micron being NVIDIA’s launch partner supplying 8Gb GDDR6 into their new GeForce RTX™ GPU line-up is a great proof of this close partnership. And we will continue further pushing memory performance to continue establishing GDDR6 memory as the DRAM solution for other high-performance applications other than gaming too. But in the meantime, who wants to join our squad and get their game on?

This hasn't happened since forever - Nvidia being first on DDRx.

Mostly due to AMD's cpu division expertise making road for "ATI"

Yep, let NVidia foot the bill this time and AMD can reap the rewards later. :)

GDDR6 itself has no challenges in manufacturing, nor does it introduces some costly advanced method of soldering like HBM.

If anything, PCB design is more important for achieving high clock. This means that there may be bit different memory OC results on different board designs.

If you're ignoring GDDR5X, I suppose.
