Elpida to Start Shipments of 7GHz Memory Chip in July
Elpida Memory, a leading global supplier of advanced dynamic random access memory (DRAM), has announced that it had completed development of a high-density, high-speed, low-power consumption 50nm process 2Gb GDDR5.
Elpida’s new 2Gb GDDR5 chip can work at up to 7Ghz (quad data rate) clock-speed and will power graphics cards and/or other memory bandwidth-sensitive applications. For example, the new memory chips can power graphics cards with 2GB or 4GB of memory onboard. The chip is made using 50nm copper process technology and was developed by Elpida’s design center in Munich, Germany, which originally was operated by Qimonda.
