Samsung has just hosted its recent Samsung Tech Day 2022 event, where the company updated the world on its work on next-gen GDDR7 memory.
Samsung talked about its next-gen DRAM solutions during the Samsung Tech Day 2022 event, where it has 32Gb DDR5 DRAM, and 8.5Gbps LPDDR5X memory, but this is the doozy: totally next-gen 36Gbps GDDR7 DRAM for the data center, HPC, mobile, gaming and automotive market segments.
The last we heard on GDDR7 memory was from Samsung this time last year, in Novemebr 2021 when the company teased next-gen 32Gbps GDDR7 memory... but this is newer, faster 36Gbps GDDR7 memory. To refresh your memory, the current-gen Ampere-based NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has 24GB of GDDR6X memory at 21Gbps, so too does the next-gen Ada Lovelace-powered GeForce RTX 4090 (the same 24GB GDDR6X @ 21Gbps).
So this would represent a huge 71% increase in memory bandwidth over the fastest GDDR6X right now and for the foreseeable future. We're already breaching 1TB/sec+ on a 384-bit memory but with 21Gbps GDDR6X memory, we should expect somewhere in the vicinity of 1.7TB/sec through to 2TB/sec and beyond with 36Gbps GDDR7 memory, especially on wider memory buses and next-gen GPUs.
