Samsung Kicks Off Mass Production of 24 Gb GDDR7 Memory Chips; 36 Gbps Chips Begin Sampling

Exciting developments are underway in the world of gaming memory technology, with Samsung making significant strides in GDDR7 memory modules. These advancements promise to enhance the performance of future gaming GPUs, providing gamers with an even more immersive experience.

Breakthrough in GDDR7 Memory Production

Samsung’s 3 GB GDDR7 memory chips, previously showcased in the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 video, have now entered the mass production phase. Reports suggest these 24 Gb memory chips are slated for the NVIDIA RTX 50 Super series. With rising DRAM prices, there are expectations that the RTX 50 Super series may face a delay, potentially pushing the release to Q3 2026.

Despite these challenges, Samsung is moving forward with the production of its current 28 Gbps chips, which will be featured in most GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. In addition to the mass-produced variant, Samsung is also sampling faster 32 Gbps and 36 Gbps versions. These advanced chips are anticipated to be a game-changer, offering improved speed and efficiency.

A table lists various memory parts, highlighting the model 'K4VCF325ZC-SC28' with 24 Gb density, 266 FBGA package, and a speed of 28.0 Gbps, marked as 'Mass Production'.

Future of Gaming GPUs

Industry sources have identified the 3 GB GDDR7 memory chips, marked by the identifier “K4vcf325zc-sc28,” as featured on the RTX 5090 Founder’s Edition card. Meanwhile, other variants will carry identifiers “K4vcf325zc-sc32” and “K4vcf325zc-sc36.” It remains uncertain whether NVIDIA will opt for the 28 Gbps modules or the faster 32/36 Gbps versions in their Super lineup. However, the 28 Gbps modules already promise to enhance GPUs like the GeForce RTX 5070 Super, offering 18 GB of memory capacity compared to the 12 GB on the RTX 5070.

Hopefully, NVIDIA will integrate the faster chips in the Super series, boosting both VRAM capacity and memory bandwidth for superior gaming performance. While the RTX 50 Super launch remains uncertain, enthusiasts eagerly await more details on upcoming models like the rumored RTX 5080 Super, which is expected to feature the 32 Gbps 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules.
