Micron shared some performance figures on its next-gen GDDR7 memory, and it's great news for Nvidia's RTX 50-series.
Micron has shared some performance figures for its next-gen graphics memory, and if these numbers turn out to be true, it could mean great things for upcoming graphics cards .
Recommended Videos In the data, which was first shared by harukaze5719 on X , Micron pits its new GDDR7 32Gb/s modules against its GDDR6 VRAM that max out at 20GB/s. For comparison, GDDR6X memory can go up to 24GB/s per pin, so it’s a big upgrade no matter what, but it’s worth noting that GDDR7 memory will start at 28Gb/s.
Despite these impressive gains, Micron also reports that GDDR7 is up to 50% more efficient in terms of power consumption, and its new sleep modes can massively cut back on the amount of power consumed while on standby — up to 70%. Micron also managed to reduce response times by up to 20%, which will be helpful for generative AI workloads.32Gbps: https://t.co/sWJAe1oDnG pic.twitter.
This sounds like good news for Nvidia. Recent rumors about the specs for the RTX 50-series leave a lot to be desired, with a similar huge improvement in the RTX 5090 and significantly smaller boosts across the lower end of the product stack. But with this much faster memory, we might see GPUs that share similar CUDA core counts still shoot ahead in fps just because of the faster VRAM.
