Samsung Introduces 24Gb GDDR7 Memory for GeForce RTX 5090
Today, October 17, Samsung officially introduced to the world its new high-capacity GDDR7 memory, which will be used in both video cards and data centers in the future.
The new 24Gbps GDDR7 uses fifth-generation DRAM manufactured using a 10nm-class process technology, which increased the cell density by 50% without changing the package size. This significant technological achievement provides higher capacity and performance compared to previous solutions. One of Samsung’s key technological achievements is the use of three-level pulse amplitude modulation PAM3, which allows for speeds of over 40Gbps, which is 25% faster than the previous generation GDDR6. Depending on operating conditions, performance can increase to 42.5Gbps
The new product’s energy efficiency has been significantly improved by implementing technologies previously used in mobile devices, now applied for the first time in graphics memory. The introduction of clock frequency management methods and a two-level power design (VDD) has significantly reduced energy consumption, resulting in an increase in energy efficiency by more than 30%.
Testing of the new GDDR7 will begin this year, with mass production set to begin early next year.
The memory is expected to be suitable for next-generation graphics cards such as the RTX 5090, gaming consoles, data centers, and AI workstations.
