Samsung GDDR7 DRAM wins presidential recognition

Samsung Electronics’ Graphics Double Data Rate 7 (GDDR7) DRAM won presidential recognition on Wednesday, as its technological competitiveness continues to gain industry attention amid the rise in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing. At the 2025 Korea Tech Festival in Seoul, hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources, the government awarded a presidential honor to Samsung’s world-first 12-nanometer-class, 40-gigabit-per-second, 24-gigabyte GDDR7. This is the 12th time that the company has received the presidential commendation, the highest number awarded to a single company. It won the recognition with the 14-nanometer-class DDR5 in 2022 and the 64-layer three-dimension V-NAND Flash in 2017. GDDR7 is a DRAM optimized for graphics processing and AI computing, and its market value is surging as demand for general DRAM in AI accelerators continues to rise. Compared with high-bandwidth memory (HBM), GDDR7 is cheaper, offers greater power efficiency, and imposes lighter system workloads, making it an attractive alternative as the AI market shifts toward infereWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
