Graphics RAM GDDR5

Qimonda GDDR5 introduces features and functions that go beyond previous GDDR standards and enables today’s GDDR5 to operate at data rates up to 6 Gbps, three times the performance of todays high speed GDDR3. The GDDR5 combines highest performance with stable system operation and low implementation costs.

Memory bandwidth is a key factor in the rapidly increasing 3D rendering performance of PC graphics systems and game consoles. Over the last years, the memory bandwidth of graphics DRAMs grew by nearly 30% per year. Bandwidth of graphics memory systems exceeds those of PC main memory by far.
