I didn’t see a release date for GDDR7 in the article, so I’m guessing we’ll see the first version of it being used for the next wave of GPUs after this generation, so likely 2024. I also doubt it launches at those advertised speeds. I’d guess more like 28-30Gbps for the first version, but I’d love to be wrong.

Still, it’s good to see GDDR7 get announced. Memory bandwidth has definitely been in short supply for GPUs the last couple years, given the increasing reliance on cache to bolster effective bandwidth in the absence of big speed increases in memory itself.
