Micron Samples Next-Gen Graphics Memory for Gaming and AI
TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Computex — Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), today announced the sampling of its next-generation GDDR7 graphics memory with the industry’s highest bit density.1 Leveraging Micron’s 1β (1-beta) DRAM technology and innovative architecture, Micron GDDR7 delivers 32 Gb/s high-performance memory in a power-optimized design. With over 1.5 TB/s of system bandwidth,2 which is up to 60% higher bandwidth than GDDR6,3 and four independent channels to optimize workloads, Micron GDDR7 memory enables faster response times, smoother gameplay and reduced processing times. GDDR7 also provides a greater than 50% power-efficiency improvement compared to GDDR64 to better thermals and lengthen battery life, while the new sleep mode reduces standby power by up to 70%.5 Advanced reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features on Micron GDDR7 enhance device dependability and data integrity without compromising performance — broadening the spectrum of applications for Micron GDDR7 to AI, gaming and high-performance computing workloads.
