Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75982, member: 636"] Samsung dropped new 3-gig GDDR7 memory chips that hit 40 gigabits per second on each pin, and the company says PAM3 signaling makes them faster while using less power than older standards. The bigger capacity per chip means GPU makers can slap together cards with massive video memory totals without needing a ton of individual modules cluttering up the board design. The thermal and power efficiency upgrades matter because these things can supposedly run cooler under load without cranking up the wattage. This could help both gaming cards and compute accelerators maintain performance without turning into space heaters, which is kind of the whole point when you're trying to push bandwidth that hard.
