Micron GDDR7 Memory To Launch In 1H 2024, Powering Next-Gen GPUs

wccftech.com:

Micron announced that it will be launching its next-gen GDDR7 memory for future GPUs in the first half of 2024.

During its Q3 2023 Earnings Call, Micron announced its current progress on various DRAM and memory products including the upcoming GDDR7 memory for graphics. The company unveiled that they are working on the next-gen GDDR7 memory which will be available in 1H 2024 or next year.

In graphics, industry analysts continue to expect graphics’ TAM compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to outpace the broader market, supported by applications across client and data center. We expect customer inventories to normalize in calendar Q3. We plan to introduce our next-generation G7 product on our industry-leading 1ß node in the first half of calendar year 2024.

According to Micron, the GDDR7 memory will be based on the 1ß process node which is expected to be replaced by the 1γ process node in 2025 which has a production schedule for 2025. The EUV node will be first manufactured at Micron's Taiwan site where they already have the EUV capability installed and later move on to the Hiroshima, Japan fab.

We know based on previous information that the GDDR7 memory has already entered verification stage with the first solutions being provided to customers by Cadeance.

The GDDR7 memory solution is going to succeed in GDDR6 and GDDR6X solutions which are yet to hit their peak potential. The new standard will be bringing support for PAM3 Signaling along with a lot faster pin speeds of up to 36 Gbps. Currently, the fastest memory solution is used by NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards in the form of the GDDR6X memory solution which provides up to 22 Gbps pin speeds while AMD's Radeon RX 7000 series cards utilize the standard
