SK Hynix has introduced a new high-speed GDDR7 memory for graphics cards
By ForGeeks The South Korean semiconductor manufacturer known as SK Hynix has proclaimed an upgrade to its technology arsenal by introducing a next-generation memory chip labeled GDDR7. This innovative memory chip features significantly increased data transfer rates, making it suitable for the upcoming generation of graphics processing units (GPUs).
South Korean semiconductor maker known as SK Hynix has announced an improvement to its technology arsenal with the introduction of a new generation of memory labeled GDDR7.
The distinguishing feature of GDDR7 is its impressive maximum data transfer rate of up to 32 Gbps. Compared to its predecessor, GDDR6, this upgrade delivers an impressive 60% performance improvement. In addition, the number of thermally conductive substrates has increased from 4 to 6, and the enclosure is made of a highly thermally conductive epoxy compound (EMC). This strategic design, the manufacturer claims, reduces thermal resistance by an astounding 74% compared to the previous memory model, ensuring sustained performance levels even under intense loads.
