Providing Performance & Security for the Connected Car

Connected cars make our lives easier by integrating automation, entertainment and mobility with our favorite mode of transport. Generating and receiving a torrent of data, they need the speed of the latest memory and interface technologies to handle the load. Given the critical importance to comfort and safety, that data needs the highest order of protection. Rambus silicon IP solutions help ensure we can get the very most from our connected cars with the assurance that all our data stays secure.

Going Beyond GPUs with GDDR6

Going Beyond GPUs with GDDR6

Supported by Micron Technology, SK Hynix and Samsung, GDDR6 SGRAM will feature a maximum data transfer rate of 16 Gbps, along with an operating voltage of 1.35V. GDDR6 offers higher densities compared to previous-generation graphics memory. In addition, GDDR6 doubles the speed (12–16 Gb/s) of GDDR5 and provides more than 5X the 3.2 Gb/s speed of DDR4. Although initially targeted at game consoles and PC graphics, the latest iteration of GDDR is expected to be deployed across multiple verticals, with Micron specifically highlighting the data center and automotive sector.
