While AMD initially planned to launch RX Vega in high volume, it seems that retailers in many countries have been struggling to get stock in. While we know that more stock is coming in, we could be stuck with a shortage until October according to a report this week. According …

This week, Samsung has begun ramping up production of its second generation High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) DRAM chips in preparation for increased demand. Samsung will be producing 8GB stacks with speeds as high as 256GB/s, offering the highest performance to date. Both AMD and Nvidia currently use HBM2 chips for graphics …

This week, a new rumour going around suggests that Nvidia is set to begin mass production of its new Pascal GPUs equipped with HBM 2 during the first half of this year, with availability scheduled for the second half of 2016. This comes just a few days after Samsung announced …

While HBM still seems set to be the next big thing when it comes to VRAM on high-end graphics cards, we may have another contender in 2016 as reports are claiming that Micron is currently developing GDDR6 memory. This isn't the first time we have heard about a new version …

As developers of graphics processing units start to use high-bandwidth memory (HBM), manufacturers of graphics cards cease their ability to buy memory directly from DRAM makers. A good news is that Nvidia Corp. intends to buy second-gen HBM from two suppliers, which potentially means flexible pricing. Nowadays manufacturers of graphics …

Advanced Micro Devices is currently the only company to use high-bandwidth memory it co-developed with SK Hynix and other partners. While usage of HBM is clearly a competitive advantage that AMD has over its rivals, the company is encouraging others to use the new memory type and does not intend …

The high-bandwidth memory (HBM) introduced along with AMD’s code-named “Fiji” graphics processing unit radically changes the way graphics adapters are built and also dramatically improves potential performance of future graphics processing units. But while HBM looks ingeniously simple on paper, it was extremely hard to develop and is not easy …

Samsung Electronics indicated that it plans to start volume production of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) next year at the Intel Developer Forum this week. At the trade-show, the company revealed its current vision and expectations concerning HBM. Samsung foresees that eventually high-performance applications (such as GPUs) could feature up to six …

The first-generation high-bandwidth memory provides extreme performance, but is clearly not perfect for high-end graphics cards due to capacity limitations. A good news is that second-gen high-bandwidth memory is on the way and is due in 2016. Advanced Micro Devices may get it faster and in higher volumes than its …

SK Hynix has demonstrated a wafer with second-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) at the CeBIT trade-show in Hannover, Germany. The new memory chips will emerge on the market sometimes next year and will increase memory bandwidth and memory capacities for graphics cards and other applications. The first-generation HBM (HBM1) stacks four …
