Micron has revealed that its next-generation GDDR7 graphics memory technology will offer a 30% performance improvement for all gamers. Discovered by Harukaze5719 on X (Twitter), The next-generation graphics memory standard is specified as having a 30% improvement in frames per second over its GDDR6 counterpart (GDDR6 and G6X), entailing both ray tracing-focused titles and pure rasterization-only games.
Specifically, Micron is saying these changes will occur with its upcoming 32Gb/s GDDR7 modules, in comparison to its GDDR6 (non-X) 20Gb/s version, which is currently one of the fastest speeds on the market for standard GDDR6 memory. Micron neglected to share what benchmarks were run to get its 30% metric, but 30% is a huge improvement regardless, assuming these uplifts are from memory alone.
