Samsung Electronics Thursday announced that it has started mass production of the industry’s first 16-gigabit Graphics Double Data Rate 6 (GDDR6) memory for use in advanced graphics processing.

The world’s fastest graphic DRAM performs at an 18-gigabits-per-second pin speed with data transfers of 72 gigabytes per second, which represents a more than two-fold increase over its predecessor 8Gb GDDR5, the company said in a statement.

Built on Samsung’s advanced 10-nanomter class process technology, the new GDDR6 memory comes in a 16Gb density, which doubles that of the company’s 20-nanometer 8Gb GDDR5 memory launched in 2014.

The chip’s low-power circuit design lowers energy consumption approximately 35 percent over the widely used GDDR5. The GDDR6 also brings about a 30 percent manufacturing productivity gain compared to the 20nm 8Gb GDDR5, according to the company.

With the speed capable of handling 48 FHD videos just in a second, the new GDDR6 memory will bring an optimal solution to manufacturers in rapidly growing fields such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR), 8K Ultra HD video processing and self-driving vehicle technology.

Samsung Electronics also said the mass production of the 10nm-class GDDR6 will further strengthen its presence in the premium DRAM market for advanced graphics memory in addition to PC, server and mobile memory.
