Faster RAM will benefit next-gen GPUs, the South Korean firm revealed GDDR7 specs with transfer rates up to 36 Gbps. Compared to Micron’s 24 Gbps GDDR6X chips used by some Nvidia RTX 4000 graphics cards on the market now.

This new standard aims to increase speed by 50%. In theory, GDDR7 can deliver 1.7 TB/s of bandwidth with a 384-bit bus, although a 256-bit bus can still surpass the 1 TB/s limit.

Samsung hinted that the new 36 Gbps GDDR7 could debut alongside upcoming RTX 5000 and RDNA 4 GPUs. However, a release date for the technology has not yet been set. In 2023, we’ll likely learn more about and see more of Samsung’s upcoming 36Gbps GDDR7 memory.
