Het is al van gisteren, die 'nieuws', maar toch nog wel ff de moeite waard.
Mitsubishi heeft geheugen aangekondigd dat vele malen sneller is dat het SGRAM wat nu op veel kaarten gevonden kan worden, om nog maar niet te spreken over de snelheidswinst t.o.v. SDRAM.
Mitsubishi Electronics America’s Electronic Device Group today announced the 3D-RAM5 (M2V40092DWG) integrated frame buffer memory architecture, the industry’s first silicon combining DRAM and logic with a 1024-bit internal bus for 3D graphics. 3D-RAM5 is designed in Mitsubishi’s 0.25-µm HyperDRAM™ process technology... [break]KNIP[/BREAK] ...Moving hardware acceleration for raster operations, blending, and stencil modes from a separate graphics controller to the memory chip while at the same time widening the memory bus to a full kilobit enables unprecedented 3D pixel rendering speed while minimizing power consumption. Thanks to its memory bus width and to a 14 percent increase in the chip’s clock rate, the bus delivers a 9 Gbyte per second data rate. A typical application uses at least four pieces of 3D-RAM5 per system, resulting in an unmatchable 36 Gbyte per second minimum aggregate data bandwidth from the frame buffer DRAM.
Oftewel: SNEL!
