Earlier today, we reported that AMD too, much like Nvidia, is purportedly increasing the power draw of its upcoming Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The higher power is to essentially squeeze out as much core clocks out of the chips as possible which will lead to more performance. With such high core frequencies, memory clocks too must be raised and as such, the next-gen GPUs are expected to feature some of the fastest available GDDR memory.
Micron, which is an industry veteran, has begun the production of its fastest GDDR6X memory yet that reaches 24Gbps. The new memory part was spotted by Twitter user and leakster @harukaze5719. The part number for the chip is "MT61K512M32KPA-24:U", where the "24" at the end denotes the speed of the memory and the letter "U" is meant to denote the revision version.
Nvidia's current flagship, the RTX 3090 Ti, already utilizes Micron's current best 21Gbps GDDR6X. The new 24Gbps variant is 14% faster and will likely be used by the top end cards of the upcoming RTX 4000 series Ada Lovelace GPUs.
The rest
Micron 24Gbps GDDR6X for next-gen AMD RX 7000 and Nvidia RTX 4000 now in production
Micron's fastest GDDR6X memory yet, clocking in at 24Gbps, has entered production. The upcoming next-gen RX 7000 and RTX 4000 series GPUs from AMD and Nvidia, respectively, are likely to use it.
