Micron Announces New Generation of GDDR7 Video Memory with High Performance

TapTechNews June 5th news, Micron has announced that it has begun sampling a new generation of GDDR7 video memory, with a speed of 32 Gb/s and a video memory bandwidth of 1.5 TB/s, which is 60% higher than GDDR6 and has the highest bit density in the industry.

Micron's new generation GDDR7 video memory is built with a new 1β (1-beta) DRAM technology and an innovative architecture, and it has four independent channels to optimize the workload.

Micron's new generation of GDDR7 memory provides faster response times, a smoother gaming experience, and shorter processing times.

In addition, the energy efficiency of GDDR7 is 50% higher than that of GDDR6, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of portable devices such as laptops and extending the battery life, and the new sleep mode can reduce the standby power consumption by 70%.

Micron states that its next-generation GDDR7 video memory can provide high performance, increase the throughput by 33%, and shorten the response time of generative AI workloads including text and image creation by 20%. TapTechNews attaches the relevant specification information as follows:

The company expects that compared with the current GDDR6 and GDDR6X memory, the next-generation graphics cards using GDDR7 video memory will improve the ray tracing and rasterization performance by more than 30% at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions.

Micron's industry-leading product portfolio is suitable for edge AI inference applications on CPU, NPU, and GPU components, providing DDR, LPDDR, and GDDR memory options.

For game applications, Micron GDDR7 video memory realizes AI-enhanced games that can adapt to scenes, players, and storylines through performance and frame buffer expansion.
