everyone we're at GTCC 2018 at the SK Hynix booth so this is a bit interesting SK Hynix of course is a major memory supplier they provide the memory for most graphics cards they have a couple of competitors but not many Mason comes down to three major players in the memory market for both system and GPU memory so SK Hynix is one of those we're talk about G DDR six today as you probably saw in the title the major news here from SK Hynix we actually have a couple of things talked about but one of them is that they're G DDR 6 will be entering mass production in about 3 months that does coincide with some future launches two of them are autonomous vehicle launches from Nvidia and then we also know that their face is gonna be in the future GPUs from Nvidia as well for the gaming side of things before that this video is brought to you by Corsairs new dark core RGB se Mouse the dark core RGB se is a wireless gaming mouse rated for up to 24 hours of continuous wireless gaming with the LEDs enabled and can be coupled with a Qi charging mouse pad for easy battery charging it has both wireless and Bluetooth antenna so the mouse can be used easily on two systems and switched between them learn more at the link in the description below so future and video gaming GPUs probably going to be on GDR 6 from what I understand today and hynek's should be making some of them so I don't know exactly when those will be coming out but we do have a timeline of mass production of 4G DDR 6 from SK Hynix in three months that should give you somewhat of a timeline to start with because obviously they're not gonna be ready until mass production is done assuming the information been told today is accurate and the NVIDIA GPUs or video cards in the future do have G GD r6 anyway that's the basics that's the most important stuff in terms of relative costs we don't have exact numbers we've talked about gddr5 pricing and HBM to pricing in the past so you can check previous content for that if you need some actual kind of pretty accurate ballpark figures that we've collected from manufacturers but what I do have is relative pricing so G GD r6 should be about 20% more expensive for manufacturers cost to manufacture than existing gddr5 that will go down to 15 eventually 10% production ramps up and they produce more and more GDRs safe so for now it's about a 20% cost increase pretty significant information and news that you should definitely be paying attention to if you haven't heard it yet and you haven't because we heard here first other than that base expects to run everyone through all the stuff that you've probably seen before gdr 6 we'll be shipping an 8 and 16 gigabit modules from SK Hynix and the existing GDR 5 from hynix was only eight gigabit module so the density has a potential to double if you as a manufacturer buy the 2x density chips so that's item number one item number two voltage both is about the same it's one point three five volts for GDR six and GG are five is 1.35 is 1.5 volts depending on what should be which which one you use in which manufacturer using things like that but basically about the same voltage power consumption we don't have hard numbers on it's a lower but I can't give you a hard number on it in terms of watch or anything like that extra information speed so gddr5 speeds anywhere from seven gigabits per second to nine gigabits per second of absolute high-end it varies based on manufacturer Samsung hynek's micron are the big three makers of memory so depend on which one you're buying from that's your speed variance NVIDIA has a couple of nine gigabit per second cards but it's mostly eight at the high-end gt2 are six is supposed to be going up to 16 gigabytes per second per Hynek suspect there Mac spec and samsung has announced similar numbers for theirs I don't have the most recent numbers with me today but it's similar so those are your main items of note I think for GT are six and five the most important that you probably haven't heard elsewhere before today is the price difference 20% cost to manufacturers that will come down to consumer if they don't profit on it as well so keep that in mind three months time for mass production it's not there yet it will be in three months and will from what I've been told be used on future Nvidia graphics card devices which we would assume would launch sometime coinciding with that three month window if not a bit after just because of how manufacturing obviously works they need lead time to put it onto the cart one last thing I guess so BGA the gt-r six-member is one-eighty ball grid array so it's got 180 solder balls on it and gddr5 is 170 the primary difference the reason they add 10 is not because of size they're actually the same size so 14 by 14 for the module but for throughput so throughput has increased of course 16 gigabits per second extra 10 to 180 balls in the ball grid array doesn't prove the throughput so that's I think that's everything you've got for you pretty interesting stuff actually I honestly wasn't really sure what to expect when I walked up to the hynek's booth but I'm glad I did so pretty cool stuff
