À̹ÌÁö È®´ë Samsung Electronics has kicked off mass production of its second-generation 8-gigabyte (GB) High Bandwidth Memory-2 (HBM2) with the industry¡¯s fastest data transmission speed, extending its leadership in driving the growth of the premium DRAM market.
The new solution dubbed Aquabolt can handle data for 61 full HD movies in a second and significantly improve overall system performance of artificial intelligence and supercomputing, the company said on Thursday.
With this improvement, a single Samsung 8GB HBM2 package will offer a 307 gigabytes-per-second (GBps) data bandwidth, achieving nearly 10 times faster data transmission than a typical 8 gigabit (Gb) GDDR5 chip, which provides a 32GBps data bandwidth, according to the company.
Using four of the new HBM2 packages in a system will enable a 1.2 terabytes-per-second (TBps) bandwidth and improve system performance by as much as 50 percent, compared to a system that uses a 1.6Gbps HBM2.
Samsung Electronics said it will supply Aquabolt to its global IT customers and continue to rapidly advance its memory technology in cooperation with leading OEMs across a wide array of fields including supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and graphics processing.
Shares of Samsung Electronics closed Friday down 0.08 percent at 2,410,000 won.
