I like to think these will be used in the 12 series for Nvidia or the 11 series if they aren't even made yet somewhere.

GDDR6 is going to be beastly! Improvements with power and efficiency! Its the ultimate win win!

    Maybe I should have put tai to my post to underline the message...

      Well, that's Good News for the PC Enthusiasts and PC Gamers. Well, for those PC Enthusiasts and PC Gamers time to save up Money. Oh, sorry A Lot of Money cuz GPU Prices are already pretty High, thanks to Crypto-Currency/Crypto-Mining. At least for now (Maybe).

Cuz that's what GDDR is for and right now we're on GDDR5 which is the highest. Cuz it can Transfer High Amounts of Data at High Speed as well. And that GDDR6 is gonna Transfer Higher Amounts of Data at High Speed as well.

This gddr6 is for ... moreDude, GDDR (Graphics Double Data Rate) is for GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) which is also known as VRAM used for Games. And that's different than DDR (Double Data Rate) and that's Used for (Only) RAM for Computers. And they're both different and serve different purposes sort of. I mean, they both transfer Data but GDDR transfer Higher and Faster Data than DDR which is why is used for Gaming (ONLY). Just, do your Research if you still don't Understand.

            Very nice, looking forward for new gen memory in gpus

                It was a scientist working alone on his project.
                But these so called barons or petrol kings do not hesiate to get rid of him but thats a very old story going back to 70s era.
                And this i mean his technology could use any kind before any processing for example purification of water. For example from pacific ocean or any other on the whole world your casual well etc.
                And making water expensive? I dont think so.
                If 1 litre of water could keep moving car by 10 000+ miles it could change everything. We have enough water to run anything and raining gives much more.

BMW known as one of the worst car manufacturers there cars resale value are the worst when it comes to luxuries and most unreliable unlike Lexus.

                              Anonymous, 18 Jan 2018you have no idea what you are talking about Man but i have.
                              I collected lot of intel in my life and i know a lot of things you have no idea about.
                              But thats another story for another time.
                              This big companies like Samsung can do literrary everything for money and be sure they will did.
                              Same goes for the richest petrol barons in Saudi Arabia.
                              They did everything in petrol bussiness to keep it as high as possible.
                              Maybe you dont know but a motor which can use 1 liter of basic water from your sink and car with it can travel more than a 10 000 miles has been developed 50 years ago.
                              Since then this technology hasnt been used. Now tell me why?
                              In phone industry is the same.
                              New phone is presented but ideas of phones which will come several years later are already on a geekbench.

                                But in this case one snowflake can make a huge winter.
                                But then it will be too late.
