Plese answer the question!
1. We see many companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony etc.) are becoming active in game industry due to High Bandwidth Memory possibilities in memory hierarchy. Why do you think HBM has huge effects to game industry?
In gaming system, GPU (Gapic Processing Unit) is extremely important component. It makes games looks better with high resolution graphics and improved framerates and also makes run efficiently. This GPU performance depends on its design including memory bandwidth, cache size and distribution, clock speed, bus width, and pixel/texel fill rates.
GPU performance largerly depends on its memory bandwidth. Recently usage of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is on rapid phase that all companies adopting it. The strong economic growth and growing demand for high-density memories are also expected to drive the HBM market. Gamers always wants better experience and wants to feel live action. For this experience better quality graphics necessary which in turn pusoing manufacturing companies to opt for HBM
HBM also uses less power compared to traditional DDR i.e.,HBM consume about 70% less energy-per-bit than traditional DRAM-based memory, design optimization is another advantage. Future gaming industry solely based on 3D experience and even more which can be achieved with HBM advance versions HBM2, HBM2E and HBMnext.
