The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ appears close to debuting its GDDR7 memory for forthcoming-generation GPUs.
Finally, the long wait is appearing to end, since back in 2023, Samsung already revealed that the developing stage of the GDDR7 memory chip was completed. And now it is known that Samsung is about to debut these new-generation memory chips.
It is being suspected by the Jint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JEDEC), which has published the final specifications of the next-generation memory. To increase the enthusiasm among the fan community, JEDEC revealed the official specifications for GDDR7 memory chips.
As per the revelation, it offers increased performance with data transfer speeds of up to 192 GB per second per device. Samsung has confirmed that it will release GDDR7 32Gbps memory chips for 1.6x higher performance as well as higher reliability for AI, high-end gaming, and high-performance computing (HPC).
The Korean giants and Micron have already disclosed their first-generation GDDR7 chips, and they will top out at 24 Gbit. Notably, Samsung was the very first brand globally to complete the development of the GDDR7 SGRAM. Its GDDR7 SGRAM chips touch a record-breaking bandwidth of up to 1.5 TBps, which is 40% higher than GDDR6.
If the reports are to be believed, then these chips are capable of delivering a per-pin speed of 32 GHz due to the PAM3 (Pulse-Amplitude Modulation) signaling method, a new memory standard that permits 50% more data throughput in the same signaling cycle. It is expected that both the AMD and Nvidia brands will use these new ultra-fast memory chips in their next-generation GPUs.
The RTX 5000 series GPUs from Nvidia are rumored to feature GDDR7 memory chips for higher performance and are expected to debut by the end of this year. AMD, too, is expected to use GDDR7 chips in its Radeon RX 8000 series GPUs that have the RDNA 4 architecture.
