Samsung to Unveil Next-Gen GDDR7 Memory with Unprecedented Speeds

The new memory technology, set to be showcased at the 2024 IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference, promises significant bandwidth increase and power consumption reduction.

Samsung is set to unveil its next-generation GDDR7 memory with speeds up to 37Gbps, which is a significant upgrade over the current GDDR6X memory.
The new GDDR7 memory will not only increase bandwidth but also reduce power consumption, making it a more efficient choice for high-end GPUs.
Samsung is expected to demonstrate two versions of its GDDR7 VRAM at the 2024 IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference: a low-power 35.4 Gb/s per-pin GDDR7 for laptops and a higher-power 37 Gb/s per-pin GDDR7 for desktop GPUs.
Despite the impressive speeds, it's unlikely that these fast memory modules will be available for the next generation of graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia, and may have to wait until the generation after.
Samsung's GDDR7 memory is expected to offer 20% higher efficiency and reduced thermal resistance by up to 70%, making it an attractive option for applications with mindful power usage such as laptops.
