Thanks to high capacity and powerful performance, Samsung’s latest memory chip will be widely utilized in various fields. It’s a pretty big induction in fields that require high-performance memory solutions, such as data centers and AI workstations.

Beyond that, the GDDR7 will also be utilized beyond the traditional applications of graphics DRAM in graphics cards, gaming consoles and autonomous driving. It minimizes current leakage by using power gating design tech to boost operational stability.

Samsung claims that the GDDR7 achieved industry-leading speed for graphics DRAM of 40 Gbps, a whopping 25% boost over its predecessor. The performances can also be enhanced to up to 42.5Gbps, depending on the usage environment.

The company has also expanded mobile SoC-inspired methods such as clock control management and dual VDD design. It’s aimed at reducing unnecessary power consumption, improving power efficiency by over 30%.
