Samsung has confirmed that its upcoming GDDR7 memory modules will be capable of providing consumers with 36 Gbps speeds, and they have shared a slideshow describing some of the technology used within those modules.
The new Samsung GDDR7 Memory is designed for data centers, personal computers, mobile devices, video games, and cars.
A while ago, Samsung demonstrated the capabilities of its GDDR7 Memory. Thanks to Ian Cutress, we have a slide with details regarding the impending G7 Memory from Samsung.
Currently, 18Gbps GDDR6 memory modules are popular in many high-end graphics cards. However, 20Gbps GDDR6 Memory is featured in RX 7900 XTX and AMD’s Radeon graphics cards.
GDDR7 Memory is way more efficient than GDDR6X Memory and can attain speeds of up to 36 Gbps, making it the new industry standard. Graphics cards using GDDR7 will give 1152 GB/s of bandwidth on a 256-bit memory bus and 1728 GB/s on 384-bit memory controllers.
The NR (Non-Return to Zero) signaling mechanism used by GDDR6 has been replaced by PAM3 (Pulse-Amplitude Modulation) for GDDR7. According to reports, this modification makes GDDR7 memory 25% more power efficient than GDDR6.
GDDR7 Memory will allow graphics card producers to deliver better memory bandwidth with a smaller memory bus and fewer DRAM modules.
