Samsung Creates the First 24GB GDDR7 DRAM in the Industry for AI Computing of the Future

The new GDDR7 greatly raises the standard for graphics DRAM powering the future by providing industry-leading capacity and speed of over 40Gbps. Production is scheduled for early next year, with validation with significant GPU clients starting this year. Samsung Electronics, a global pioneer in advanced memory technology, declared today that it has created the first 24-gigabit (Gb) GDDR71 DRAM in the market. The GDDR7 is the best option for next-generation applications since it has the quickest speed and the largest capacity in the industry. Beyond the conventional uses of graphics DRAM, the 24Gb GDDR7 will be extensively used in a variety of industries that demand high-performance memory solutions, including data centres and AI workstations, thanks to its large capacity and potent performance. in game consoles, graphics cards, and self-driving cars. "With this latest accomplishment, Samsung has further solidified its technological leadership in the graphics DRAM market, following the development of the industry's first 16Gb GDDR7 last year," stated Yong Cheol Bae, Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics. "By introducing next-generation products that meet the expanding demands of the AI market, we will maintain our leadership position in the graphics DRAM market." The 5th-generation 10-nanometer (nm)-class DRAM used in the 24Gb GDDR7 allows for a 50% increase in cell density while keeping the same package size as the previous model. Along with the advanced manufacturing node, three-level Pulse-Amplitude Modulation (PAM3) signalling aids in achieving the 40 gigabits per second (Gbps) industry-leading speed for graphics DRAM. a quarter better than the last iteration. The performance of GDDR7 can be further improved to 42.5 Gbps, contingent on the environment in which it is used. Applying technology previously utilized in mobile devices to graphics DRAM for the first time also improves power efficiency. Clock control management2 and dual VDD design3 are two techniques that can be used to drastically cut down on wasteful power use, improving power efficiency by more than 30%. The 24Gb GDDR7 uses power gating design techniques to reduce current leakage and increase operational stability during high-speed operations. Major GPU customers will start validating the 24Gb GDDR7 in next-generation AI computing systems this year, with intentions to commercialize the technology early the next year.
