Micron GDDR5X Memory Chip Pictured Up Close

Here are some of the first pictures of a Micron-made GDDR5X memory chip, up close. The picture reveals the 8-gigabit chip's package number "6HA77Z9TXT-2N3Y." The company's part number is "MT58K256M32." The GeForce GTX 1080 is the first production graphics card with GDDR5X memory, and Micron is the first to market with these chips. The GTX 1080 uses eight such 8-gigabit chips across its 256-bit wide memory interface, to make up its 8 GB standard memory amount. The reference-design GTX 1080 features a memory clock speed of 2.50 GHz (actual), or 10 Gbps (effective). The memory bandwidth for the GTX 1080 is a staggering 320 GB/s.

In its company blog post, Micron states: "Designed by our specialized team of Graphics memory engineers in Munich, GDDR5X provides NVIDIA with an unprecedented level of memory bandwidth for their new GeForce GTX 1080. The bandwidth delivered by Micron's GDDR5X memory is the result of thousands of hours of teamwork by some of the most brilliant minds in our two companies." Not only is GDDR5X faster, but also more energy-efficient than the 7 Gbps GDDR5 chips from the previous generation. This particular chip has a module voltage (VDDQ) of 1.35V, its package measures 14 mm x 10 mm x 1.1 mm (LxWxH).

Must be some down-low put down, about an old coin?

Here it's know as a Shrill - betraying of strong emotion or attitude in an exaggerated amount, as antagonism or defensiveness; marked by great intensity!

And I just was indicating stacked memory in one form or another has been around. Not sure what your "knee-jerk rant" was all about.

In my country your 3rd grade antics can have you inline for the Presidency... Mr. Drumpf

Fuji a Mountain in Japan, Fuji as in parent company of Subaru, Fuji the Bike company.
"Hyprocrite" the misspelling of slander that backfired, although instantly shows in spellcheck.

Another thing you don't know. Why am I not surprised

And what does that have to do with your defending AMD working in secret for years on a memory technology, but you targeting some (unproven) less than upfront dealings regarding GDDR5X when Micron announced it as a free open standard the day it was announced.

Only in YOUR country would someone like that have a shot at being elected!
In my country people would just laugh, shake their heads and walk away. In your country you'd elect him to oversee the country. I can now see why you value imaginary conspiracy theories over facts. Living in the real world must be terrifying for you.

See ya. I'm done here. I have enough bookmarked posts for many future references.
