Samsung unveiled a newer GDDR6W memory standard that can deliver up to twice the performance, memory capacity, and memory bandwidth as compared to the standard GDDR6 and GDDR6X modules.

Quietly and without much fanfare, Nvidia announced a new variant of the RTX 4070 graphics card. It is almost identical to the original version, minus the memory standard—GDDR6 instead of GDDR6X.

Nvidia recently decided to swap out the GDDR6X memory on the RTX 4070 GPU for slower GDDR6 modules instead. Apparently, it had a hard time sourcing GDDR6X memory but had a lot of GDDR6 lying around.

In context: As manufacturers continue to squeeze every last drop of performance out of current GDDR6 and GDDR6X memory modules, Samsung has announced a new and improved entry to the family --- GDDR6W.

This will allow a 256-bit GDDR7 memory module based on the newer standard to match the bandwidth of a 384-bit GDDR6 VRAM module. The upcoming GDDR7 memory standards will allow for up to 1152 GB/s ...

Samsung is cooking up 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM, and the new modules will help enhance the abilities of next-gen GPUs. The company says its new memory will be the “first GDDR6 to deliver speeds up to ...

Samsung says the new modules support 1.1V of power, as opposed to the industry standard of 1.35/125V. It using a new dynamic power switching technology to switch back and forth when necessary.

The GeForce RTX 4060 and the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, two popular current-gen graphics cards, are expected to be unaffected by the reported GDDR6X issue as they use standard GDDR6 memory.

For next-gen GPUs Samsung has announced it has started sampling 20Gbps and 24Gbps GDDR6 memory chips, which will bring up to 50 percent performance increase compared to 16Gbps GDDR6 chips.

Micron's GDDR7 memory is expected to replace both GDDR6 and non-standard GDDR6X chips currently used in modern GPUs for gaming and AI workloads. The Idaho-based company claims ...
