Memory
GDDR7
Graphics DRAM generations for GPUs; GDDR7 is the newest, with the highest bandwidth.
Also known as:
GDDR6
GDDR6X
GDDR5
Full Definition & Technical Explanation
GDDR7 is the latest graphics memory generation for dedicated GPUs (e.g., Memory type: GDDR7, Memory speed: ~24 Gbps), doubling the bandwidth of GDDR6.
More bandwidth lets a GPU push higher resolutions and ray tracing. See Memory type in laptop/desktop GPU specs.
