Samsung Reveals DDR5-7200 512GB RAM

Samsung has announced at Hot Chips 33 that the company has developed the industry's first DDR5-7200 512GB memory module. In comparison to DDR4, Samsung's DDR5-7400 memory module offers 40% higher performance.

The new RAM unit by Samsung will feature 512GB of memory with speeds of up to 7,200 megabits per second. While the RAM module unveiled by Samsung may be unsuitable for home computers right now, other variants of the HKMG-based chip could hit the consumer market a little later. Samsung's press release also states that the company is "sampling different variations of its DDR5 memory."

Samsung has built its DDR5-7200 memory module with eight-stacked DDR5 dies that are interconnected with TSV (through-silicon-via) technology.

Samsung predicts that the mainstream market will not shift to DDR5 RAM until 2023 or even 2024. However, the manufacturer is planning to start mass-producing DDR5-7200 512GB RAM by the end of this year. Some manufacturers, such as Corsair, will be quicker to release their iterations of DDR5.
