AMD Confirms GDDR5 Memory For Next-gen Graphics Cards

News
By published

 

AMD today said that its next graphics cards series will integrate GDDR5 memory. The higher data rates supported by GDDR5 - up to 5x that of GDDR3 and 4x that of GDDR4 - will enable more bandwidth over a narrower memory interface, which can translate into superior performance delivered from smaller, more cost-effective chips, AMD said.

    Your link to the "Radeon 4800 preview articles" is broken. It goes to a 2005 discussion of consoles vs PCs.

    With as much speed on their memory, hope their RV770 GPU and onboard Physics will follow these way on performance. For now it sound good!

    I think we should have more bandwidth, then put the more on a wider bus....forget this twice as good so half the bus, lets go twice as good and twice the bus to 512 wide !
