Hynix har nu meddelat att man höjt ribban ytterligare för GDDR5-tekniken som används av bland annat AMD på deras Radeon HD 4800-serie av grafikkort. Minnestekniken som idag tillåter klockfrekvenser på över 4000MHz har nu spetsats ytterligare. Hynix har meddelat att man nu tagit fram 1Gb GDDR5 minneskretsar som med 54nm tillverkningsteknik når överföringshastigheter på 7Gbps, vilket är en ökning med 40% jämfört med 5Gbps som de snabbaste kretsarna i dagsläget arbetar i. Med andra ord kan vi komma att få se GDDR5 kretsar med 5GHz klockfrekvens i början på nästa år.

Hynix Introduces Industry’s Fastest 7Gbps, 1Gb GDDR5 Graphics DRAM
Seoul, November 23, 2008 – Hynix Semiconductor Inc., (Hynix or the Company, www.hynix.com) today introduced the industrys first and fastest 1 Gigabit GDDR5 Graphics DRAM.
The newly introduced 1Gb GDDR5 is built on the companys leading edge 54 nanometer process technology. It operates at the fastest speed of 7Gbps which is 40% improved compared to 5Gbps GDDR5 and processes up to 28 Gigabytes of data per second with a 32-bit I/O. In addition to its improved speed, it is also designed to minimize power consumption at 1.35V power supply. This fast speed of graphics memory product is ideal in high end applications such as game PC, game console and graphic cards.
The Company expects that it will keep its leading position in the graphics DRAM market by introducing the fastest and high density graphics memory product along with the previously developed 1Gb GDDR5 with 66 nanometer process technology.
Hynixs 1Gb GDDR5 graphics DRAM meets JEDEC standard and the Company plans to start volume production in the first half of next year to meet the increasing demand for high performance graphics DRAM.
