Micron is rushing to release the latest GDDR6 graphics memory by the end of the year, and PC gaming is a major driver behind the plans.

The memory company is speeding up the release of GDDR6 to cope with faster PC and console upgrades. GDDR6 will be significantly faster than its predecessor, GDDR5X, which is still reaching GPUs. Micron had originally planned to release GDDR6 next year.

Hmmm interesting. GDDR6 was original planned to launch in 2018 to use for Volta GV102 and GV104 GPUs so Micron now push forward GDDR6 launch by around 6 month to end of 2017. Could this possible mean Nvidia decided to cancelled Pascal refresh and put all resources to fast track Volta GV104 launch by end of 2017?
