Samsung Electronics claims to have completed the development of GDDR7 DRAM memory, unveiling its hardware to the public for the first time. It offers 32 Gb/s with a 16 Gb chip and delivers one of the fastest speeds on the market, reaching up to 1.5 terabytes per second throughput. According to the corporation, this improvement is made possible by the use of pulse amplitude modulation (PAM3) as a signaling method, guaranteeing up to 50% more data that is transmitted compared to NRZ during the same cycle.

It also performs well in the area of ​​power saving, guaranteeing 20% ​​efficiency, and offers an optimization for high-speed usage as well as a low-voltage option for devices like laptops. As for the thermal problem, it is made of an epoxy molding compound (EMS) whose conductivity reduces the resistance by up to 70%. While GDDR6 has 180 pins, there has also been an addition and GDDR7 DRAM has 266 pins. This means we will have PCB changes to properly connect next generation equipment.

Samsung promises to ship it for installation in next generation systems later in the second half, which will be one of the main engines that will lift the GPU market from now on. The idea is clear: to strengthen the brand as an industry leader in this scenario and become the biggest benchmark for producing high-quality memories. Given that competitors like Micron will only take this path in 2024, this leap will propel them forward.

Samsung pushes the boundaries

Yongchol Bae, executive vice president of Samsung Electronics’ memory planning group, says they will be expanding their footprint. “Our GDDR7 DRAM memory will help improve the user experience in areas that require impressive graphics performance such as workstations, computers and game consoles, with the expectation that this will expand in future applications such as artificial intelligence, high performance computing and automotive vehicles. The next generation of graphics DRAM will be brought to market in line with industry demand, and we plan to continue to maintain our leadership in this area.”

As mentioned above, in addition to graphics cards, the corporation also targets artificial intelligence, high performance computing, gaming and automotive sectors. It’s worth noting that AMD is working directly with them, with the potential to introduce even more powerful GPUs in 2024, when next-gen hardware is promised. NVIDIA prefers to work with Micron, but that could change if it doesn’t want to be left out of this debate. However, the manufacturer plans to release a new line only by 2025 – which gives him time to properly prepare the ground.

Both models are currently running 384-bit bus configurations on their “premium” graphics cards, but if they upgrade to 512-bit configuration, GDDR7 DRAM can reach up to 2048 GB/s (2 TB). Given that their production has already ended, we must wait for news from other manufacturers who receive them in order to now produce their new equipment.
