Samsung officially debuted what it claims to be the industry’s first 24Gb GDDR7 DRAM memory module. The next generation DRAM utilises a fifth generation 10nm-class DRAM, which enables a 50% increase in cell density, while retaining the same package size as its predecessors.
“After developing the industry’s first 16Gb GDDR7 last year, Samsung has reinforced its technological leadership in the graphics DRAM market with this latest achievement,” Yong Cheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said. “We will continue to lead the graphics DRAM market by bringing next-generation products that align with the growing needs of the AI market.”
The new GDDR7 memory module also features a three-level Pulse-Amplitude Modulation (PAM3) signalling technology, allowing it to reach graphics frequencies of up to 40Gbps. Further, the new memory standard also features new methods including clock control management and dual VDD design, which should translate to a 30% improvement in power consumption and efficiency.
Samsung says that its 24Gb GDDR7 memory will begin validation from major GPU customers this year, with commercialisation aimed for early next year.
