Samsung announced today it developed the industry’s first 24 Gb GDDR7 DRAM. It is intended for data centers, AI workstations, but also end-user usage in graphics cards, gaming consoles, and autonomous driving.
The new memory has twice the capacity of last year’s 16 Gb GDDR7 DRAM, revealed. The chip is built on a fifth-gen 10-nm-class process, which improves cell density by 50% while keeping the same size as the predecessor.
The speed has is up to 42.5 Gbps, 25% more than the previous version, thanks to a three-level Pulse-Amplitude Modulation (PAM3). Power efficiency has improved by over 30%, per the company claims.
Validation of the 24 Gb GDDR7 DRAM in major AI systems from GPU customers will begin this year. Commercialization of the chip is planned for early 2025.
