As you already know, Samsung is a giant technology company from Korea that not only makes their own devices but also develops components used by other electronic brands.
Samsung's expertise in developing electronic components also includes GDDR6 memory which is commonly used in graphics cards produced by companies such as AMD, Intel and NVIDIA.
Recently, Samsung announced that they have developed a new GDDR6W graphics memory, which is seen to be much faster and more efficient than the previous GDDR6 and GDDR6X offerings.
With this new memory chip offering, Samsung has doubled the number of DRAM chips offered with each DRAM chip featuring its own 32bit interface, allowing this GDDR6W memory to use a 64bit interface that promises faster memory capacity and speed support.
Samsung uses Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging chip construction technology that replaces the traditional circuit board with an RDL or Redistribution Layer that is much thinner and allows more components to be loaded on it.
The combination of a higher amount of memory together with the use of a memory interface of up to 512 bits using 8 32Gb GDDR6W memory chips allows this GDDR6W memory to come with a data transmission speed as high as 22Gbps compared to 3.2Gbps through HBM2E memory.
Not only that, because the amount of I/O at a lower system level, the development of this GDDR6W chip is also much more economical compared to HBM2E memory. The main use that can be seen with this new memory chip is in virtual reality devices that will typically require a lot of fast memory to ensure unhindered graphics performance, especially with high resolution displays and high refresh rates.
Samsung also said that it will be loaded into laptops used for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) purposes and will work with a number of graphics processing chip makers.
