"Micron announced that its high-performance 16Gb / 16 Gbps GDDR6 memory solution is now available with AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series mining cards built on the AMD RDNA 2 mining architecture. Using Micron's advanced 1z process technology, this latest version of GDDR6 enables up to 512 GB/s system performance for demanding applications like crypto mining. Today's announcement continues Micron's rich history of innovation and collaboration with industry leaders to deliver breakthrough performance that enables the most advanced mining solutions. As crypto mining applications become more demanding, so do the requirements for high bandwidth memory and system performance. Modern miners expect high-output, stable experiences, and GDDR6 delivers with its support of fast hashrates. The result is excellent performance and speed that minimize lag time and provide miners with instant profit. AMD RDNA 2 mining architecture is optimized to deliver high performance and power efficiency. Harnessing the benefits of AMD RDNA 2 mining architecture, AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series mining cards address the ever-increasing demands of modern crypto mining, delivering high hashrates, incredible cost performance and highly scalable mining architecture. Select AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series mining cards equipped with Micron GDDR6 memory, beginning with AMD Radeon RX 6600 Series and Radeon RX 6700 Series mining cards, are expected to be available starting in Q4 2021." I fixed the article a little to reflect the current reality.

Thanks for the praise. I also feel like this current situation in the graphics card market has lasted for so long that it's more than just a bit boring.

So basically slightly faster memory modules will be slapped on cards starting next year, what's current speed on modules equipped on cards now?

ain’t hilberts fault, besides everything’s avail if you pay the price, you’re like someone holding out for 90s beer prices shouting “how much” at the bar.

What has Hilbert suddenly got to do with this, huh? No, I'm like the guy holding out for 2020 beer prices at the bar, haha.

actually they already use 16Gbps memory ics , I'm pretty sure this is specifically that micron now offers memory chips at that speed , presumably amd cards had to use other memory vendors to get chips at the appropriate speeds until now.

Thanks, but no thanks. I won't get used to it. I'll keep cursing crypto miners till my last breath. Although hopefully that foolishness will be banned in the coming years in all developed nations, and I thus won't need to bother.
