Micron has claimed that its upcoming GDDR7 memory technology will deliver up to a 30% fps increase in gaming, specifically enhancing rasterization and ray tracing performance. This next-generation GDDR7 memory standard is set to bring substantial improvements in various areas, including memory bandwidth, speed, and power efficiency.
Micron, along with SK Hynix and Samsung, has been showcasing its GDDR7 solutions recently. However, Micron appears to be leading the pack with what it describes as the industry’s highest bit density for this memory type. The company’s 32Gbps GDDR7 boasts a 30% uplift in gaming performance compared to its own GDDR6 standard, which only operates at 20Gbps.
This performance gain is attributed to generational advancements in memory technology. Although Micron has not disclosed the specific platform used to achieve these results, the figures presented look really promising.

Beyond FPS improvements, Micron’s GDDR7 modules are expected to deliver a 60% boost in memory bandwidth, 20% response time reduction, and 50% increase in performance efficiency. In addition, the new GDDR7 standard could offer up to 1.7x enhancement in rasterization performance at 4K Ultra resolution and up to 3.1x improvement in ray tracing performance at the same resolution when compared to GDDR6.

Micron’s GDDR7 memory utilizes 1β (1-beta) DRAM technology, providing 32Gbps high-performance memory that utilizes a power-optimized design. It can comes with more than 1.5 TBps of system bandwidth, these memory chips are poised to elevate gaming performance significantly. Furthermore, there’s also the integration of 40Gbps PAM3, a first in the industry.

The general integration of GDDR7 by GPU manufacturers is already underway. NVIDIA plans to incorporate this technology into its next-generation “RTX 50” Blackwell graphics cards. AMD is also gearing up to use GDDR7 with its RDNA 4 series. On the other hand, Intel’s roadmap is currently unknown. The company may continue with GDDR6 for its Battlemage “Xe2” graphics, potentially reserving GDDR7 for future generations.
