Micron today announced its high-performance 16Gb/16Gbps GDDR6 memory modules manufactured using the 1z process. The launch of the new 16Gb/16Gbps GDDR6 memory with 1z technology is expected to begin later this year. The first Radeon graphics cards to feature these modules will be the RX 6700 and RX 6600.
“Our extreme bandwidth GDDR6 solution will work with AMD’s GPU capabilities to deliver an enhanced user experience and advanced gaming performance.”

The new modules use 1z process technology and enable improved bandwidth speeds of up to 512 GB/s, which translates into higher memory performance for all types of applications and games.
“The Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards are designed to deliver uncompromised, high-performance gaming experiences, and the addition of memory to the product line will help us achieve that goal,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD’s Graphics Business Unit.”
The new memory modules announced by Micron have already been included in AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards that use the RDNA 2 architecture.
“The company has a long history of developing advanced memory products, and we’ve worked closely with their engineering team to optimize GDDR6 for graphics cards based on the RDNA 2 architecture, giving our board partners more options and flexibility to develop additional designs for gamers.”
“Micron is passionate about driving product innovation in leading-edge graphics for our customers,” said Mark Montierth, vice president and general manager of High-Performance Memory and Networking at Micron.
