Qimonda AG, a leading manufacturer of memory products, today announced that the company has won
AMD as launch partner for the new graphics standard GDDR5. Qimonda already started mass production
and the volume shipping of GDDR5 512Mbit components with a speed of 4.0Gbps to AMD, a leading

electronics markets.
GDDR5 will become the next predominant graphics DRAM standard with a tremendous memory
bandwidth improvement and a multitude of advanced power saving features. It targets a variety of
applications, starting with high performance desktop graphic cards followed by notebook graphics.
Later on also the introduction in game consoles and other graphics intensive applications is
planned.
“We are very proud to supply AMD with GDDR5 volume shipments only six months after first
product samples have been delivered,” said Robert Feurle, Vice President Business Unit Specialty
DRAM of Qimonda AG. “This is a further milestone in our successful GDDR5 roadmap and underlines our
predominant position as innovator and leader in the graphics DRAM market.”
“Qimonda’s strong GDDR5 roadmap convinced us to choose them as a primary technology partner
for our GDDR5 GPU launch,” said Joe Macri, Sr. Director, Circuit Technologies, AMD. “Both the early
availability of first samples and volume shipments added great value to the development and launch
of our upcoming high-performance GPU.”
