Micron introduced 3 GB GDDR7 memory chips with speeds up to 36 Gbps

Micron launches GDDR7 chips with a density of 24 Gb (3 GB)

The company announced the release of next-generation graphics memory—GDDR7 chips that reach a capacity of 24 Gb (i.e., 3 GB). According to Micron, these chips can transfer data at speeds up to 36 Gb/s per contact.

> *At the time of announcement, these chips are not yet used in commercial products.*

Technical specifications
* Transfer speed: 36 Gb/s per contact
* Interface: 512‑bit
* Maximum throughput: with no other limitations—2 TB/s

> *If a 512‑bit bus is used, then 36 Gb/s × 512 bits = 18 Gbps ≈ 2 TB/s.*

Micron emphasizes that GDDR7 “does not just increase performance; it becomes a foundational technology for visual and AI computing in the next decade.” Thanks to its high speed, density, and improved energy efficiency, these chips will enable graphics processors and PCs with AI support to provide richer and more intelligent computational capabilities.

Comparison with competitors
* Samsung has already tested 3‑GB GDDR7 chips that achieve the same 36 Gb/s speed.
* Micron does not stand out in terms of specifications in this regard but chose to explain the product in detail through a blog instead of a traditional press release.

What is already available on the market
* Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell— the most capacious desktop GDDR7 card.
* 96 GB of memory, divided into 24 chips of 4 GB each.
* Bus speed: 28 Gb/s → total throughput ~1.8 TB/s.
* With a theoretical 36 Gb/s, it could reach 2.3 TB/s, but the capacity would remain unchanged.

Thus, Micron is putting GDDR7 chips with high density and speed on sale that have not yet found application in products but promise to become key components of future graphics and AI solutions.
