Samsung Electronics announced today it has began mass production of its 1.6Gbps 512-megabit graphics double data rate 3 (GDDR3) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip, which will be used in the Xbox 360. The 1.6Gbps 512Mb GDDR3 chip generates 6.4GBps transmission rates and is already available in professional graphic cards with a maximum density of 1GB when combining sixteen monolithic 512Mb GDDR3s together. The Xbox 360 will feature 512 megabytes (eight 512-megabit modules) of GDDR3 memory running at 700 Mhz.
The company also announced that it has developed the industry's fastest 2.0 gigabit per second 90 nanometer 512-megabit GDDR3 memory chip, which runs at up to 8.0GigaBytes per second (GBps), 70 percent faster than the conventional 1.2Gbps device.
Samsung's portfolio for next-generation DRAMs includes XDR, which will be used in the PlayStation 3, and now the DDR3 memory.
The Samsung 512Mb GDDR3, the first JEDEC-standard GDDR3 to operate at up to 1.6Gbps, is faster than any other graphics memory on the market. Samsung's memory chips based on the 1.6Gbps 90nm 512Mb GDDR3 DRAM technology, which was developed in December 2004, are available now in volume production worldwide
