Samsung has started producing 8GB HBM2 ( High Bandwith Memory ) with Highest data transmission speed.
Today Samsung has announced that they have started mass production of this HBM2 memory.
- It has 2.4 Gbps data transfer speed per pin.
[HBM2 and GDDR5 data bandwidth calculation]
- An 8GB HBM2 package’s data bandwidth: 2.4Gbps per pin x 1024bit bus = 307.2GBps
Using four HBM2 packages in a system: 307.2GBps x 4 = 1228.8GBps = approximately 1.2TBps - A 8Gb GDDR5 die’s data bandwidth: 8Gbps per pin x 32bit bus = 32GBps
