The new chip offers the highest capacity and fastest speed in the graphics memory market, capable of processing data at over 40 gigabits per second.
The new DRAM is expected to be used in various applications, including PCs, game consoles, AI workstations and data centers. Samsung plans to begin verification with major GPU customers' next-generation AI computing systems by the end of this year.
"Following the development of the 16Gb GDDR7 DRAM in July last year, we have once again succeeded in being first to develop this product in the industry, solidifying our technology leadership in the graphics DRAM market," said Bae Yong-cheol, executive vice president of memory product planning at Samsung Electronics.
"We will continue to lead the market by introducing high-capacity and high-performance products in line with the rapid growth of the AI market," he added.
The GDDR7 DRAM incorporates PAM3 (Pulse-Amplitude Modulation) signaling and power-saving technologies such as clock control and dual power design, improving power efficiency by more than 30 percent compared to previous models.
These features aim to reduce unnecessary power consumption and enhance operational stability, the company said.
