NVIDIA is developing the GeForce RTX 50 series (Blackwell) products. Although there’s no confirmed release date yet, a well-known hardware leaker has claimed that the Blackwell family will have memory interface configurations not much different from the Ada Lovelace series.
Next-gen NVIDIA GeForce GPU Memory Features: RTX 50 Blackwell
It’s speculated that NVIDIA’s Blackwell series will support GDDR7 memory, which could significantly enhance performance compared to the current GDDR6 and GDDR6X-based memory solutions.
Considering that the first-gen GDDR7 SGRAM ICs are expected to have a data transfer rate of 32 GT/s, a 384-bit memory subsystem with these chips would offer about 1,536 GB/s bandwidth. This suggests that a 512-bit memory interface may become unnecessary.
NVIDIA's new Blackwell series, being 70% faster than the RTX 4090, is set to revolutionize the world of graphics cards.
The Blackwell GPU memory configurations encompass the RTX 50 series’ memory capacity and interface width. For instance, the GB202 GPU is expected to have 24 GB or 36 GB of memory capacity with a 384-bit GDDR7.
Different bit widths and memory types are observed in other models. The Blackwell family is planned for at least two or three quarters later. The memory configurations and performance features of this family will be crucial for next-gen consumer graphics cards.
High bandwidths and efficiency can make a difference, especially in gaming and AI applications. In light of this information, NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Blackwell series appears set to initiate a new era in gaming and artificial intelligence applications.
These topics will be closely followed in the tech world until NVIDIA’s official announcement of the RTX 50 Blackwell series. What are your thoughts on this? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments section.
