Samsung Develops Industry’s First GDDR7 DRAM: 1.4x Better Performance, 20% Improved Power Efficiency

[Tsing]

Samsung Electronics has announced that it has completed development of the industry’s first Graphics Double Data Rate 7 (GDDR7) DRAM. The new memory, which is expected to be installed in next-generation systems of key customers for verification this year, offers a 1.4x boost in performance and a 20% improvement in power efficiency versus existing 24 Gbps GDDR6 DRAM. Thermal resistance has also been reduced by 70% compared to GDDR6.

Huh I read "Thermal Resistance has also been reduced by..." as "Thermal Resilience has also been reduced by..." and thought... wow that's dumb.

And a 40% improvement in performance generation to generation is really nice... Hey INTEL... look!
