Organization JEDEC has announced what specifications GDDR7 memory modules will boast. The speed will be 100% higher than its big brother in the form of GDDR6.
What is JEDEC and what is it responsible for?
If someone is not very strongly connected with the subject of computers, there is a non-zero chance that he has never heard this abbreviation. Well, it is an organization that deals with the establishment and development of standards for various types of devices, or individual components. In the computer market, you can encounter their findings mainly in the case of RAM and VRAM.
GDDR7, what do we know about the upcoming memory generation?
Over the past few years, the development of microprocessors has reached unprecedented speed, and successive families of graphics cards have significantly outperformed their predecessors. For further development in this market segment to be possible, it was necessary to develop much faster memory modules. In addition, they should support new technologies and features that will further increase performance and optimize some of the processing taking place in the GPU.
From the information we know, it appears that the new generation of memory will offer support for LDSR (Linear feedback shift register) functions. In practice, this will make it possible to increase the capacity of a single module and support 16 and 32 Gbit densities. In addition, the new memories have decided to use an interface for high-frequency operations. It is designed to gain performance while keeping energy efficiency at a decent level.
GDDR7 in numbers
The new generation of memory will increase the possible bandwidth, without forgetting about performance. This one will also be gradually increased. According to available information, GDDR7 memory will be about 1.6 times more efficient than the GDDR6 generation. This is a huge leap over its predecessor, so it can be expected that new graphics chips using these modules will offer noticeably higher performance. After all, in addition to increasing the performance of the chip modules themselves, manufacturers will have new, faster memory bones at their disposal.
When will we see the new memories?
Officials say we will already see them in action in the coming year. Nvidia wants to use them in RTX 5000 series cards – the Blackwell family, while AMD wants them in RDNA4 chips.
