GPU factory NVIDIA announced at CES 2025 in early January that it will use the GeForce RTX 50 series GPU with Blackwell architecture, including desktop and card displays, and will adopt the GDDR7 memory for the first time. Although Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron all offer GDDR7 sample tests, Samsung exclusively accounted for the initial GDDR7 supply, and SK Hynix did not keep up until April.
According to foreign media Benchlife, NVIDIA has added GeForce RTX 50 series suppliers and adopted Micron GDDR7. Next, the GeForce RTX 50 products purchased by consumers are provided by Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. Although Micron quickly joined the supply chain, it is still unclear when NVIDIA partners will adopt it.
In June 2024, Micron announced the launch of the industry's highest single-density next-generation GDDR7 product. Built with 1β (1-beta), optimized power consumption, four independent channels, and the rate is divided into 28/32Gbps versions. GDDR7 has 50% energy efficiency, 60% higher frequency width, and has better heat dissipation effect, extending battery life time. The new sleep function reduces standby power consumption by 70%.
Market news, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron all offer 16Gb (2GB) modules, but the 24Gb (3GB) module is provided exclusively for Samsung and is only used for RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell workstation cards and RTX 5090 mobile cards. Micron has added GDDR7 afterwards. Whether the three companies are used for different products remains to be seen.
