DDR DIMM Memory Modules

GDDR DIMM

Graphics Double Data Rate

GDDR Description

Graphics Double Data Rate DIMM [GDDR-DIMM, or GDDR DIMM] is similar to the JEDEC standard for Double Date Rate SDRAMs. This page covers the GDDR memory chips, which are only found on high-end Video cards used in desktop PCs. Refer to the general Memory Module page for a more complete listing of different types of modules, manufactures and descriptions. GDDR1 uses 2.5 volt signalling, GDDR2 uses 1.8 volt signalling.
GDDR 3 runs at up to around 1.5 times the speed of GDDR 2 but consumes half the power. DDR3 SDRAM devices offer data transfer rates up to 1600 Mbps. Module densities range from 256MByte up to 8GByte for standard JEDEC modules.

GDDR1 Bandwidth: up to 1.2Gbytes/s with a 300MHz clock, GDDR2 Bandwidth: up to 2.0Gbytes/s with a 500MHz clock, GDDR3 Bandwidth: up to 9.6 Gbytes/s with a 1GHz clock. GDDR4 which is just now starting to show up provides a bandwidth of 18GHz. GDDR5 operates at up to 5Gbps at 1.5 volts, [GDDR5 Pin out].
