Next-Gen GDDR7 Memory for GPUs to Be Showcased at ISSCC 2024 Conference
Jan. 30, 2024This event is being held in February, in San Francisco. Chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD are expected to use this in upcoming graphics cards. GDDR7 memory will offer various upgrades over the previous-generation memory architectures.
“Our GDDR7 DRAM will help elevate user experiences in areas that require outstanding graphic performance, such as workstations, PCs and game consoles, and is expected to expand into future applications such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and automotive vehicles,” – Yongcheol Bae, Executive VP of Memory Product Planning Team, Samsung Electronics
We will have to wait and see which generation of GPUs uses this newest graphics memory standard. While hopes are high, thismaynot be used in upcoming GPUs from big-name chipmakers (such as theRTX 50 series), but the generation coming after that should surely feature GDDR7!
The new GDDR7 memory offers lower power consumption by featuring improved efficiency. Reportedly, the new memory is 20% more efficient than GDDR6, the previous design. On laptops, GDDR7 memory featuring a lower operating voltage will be used.
