It operates at 7Gbps (Gigabit per second) bandwidth and processes up to 28 GB\/s (Gigabytes per second) with a 32-bit I\/O. In addition to its fastest speed and highest density, it is also designed to minimize power consumption with 1.35V operation voltage. It is an \u2018eco-friendly\u2019 device which reduces energy consumption by 20% over the preceding memory solutions using 50nm class technology.<\/p>\n<p>GDDR, Graphics Double Data Rate, is an ultra high speed Graphics DRAM that processes graphic data in electronic devices such as personal computer and game consoles. This product is especially ideal in high end applications of desk PC and laptop. The demand of Graphics DRAM for servers and super computers is expected to increase.<\/p>\n<p>hynix plans to start mass production of 2Gb GDDR5 in the second half of next year to meet the increasing demand for high performance graphics DRAM.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0 \uc0ac\uc774\uc988 \uc9c0\uc815\ud574\uc11c \uc5c5\ub85c\ub4dc --><\/p>\n<p class=\"img_area\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1910 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d18r0a86za96sg.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/27202701\/540_83139500.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>About hynix Semiconductor Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\nhynix Semiconductor Inc.
