Micron discontinues 2GB GDDR7 chips for gaming GPUs as it pivots toward higher-density memory for AI
Micron is reportedly ending production of its 2GB GDDR7 chips, shifting attention toward higher-density 3GB parts used in more lucrative professional and AI-focused GPUs.
Micron is discontinuing its 2 GB GDDR7 memory chips for gaming GPUs, according to reports. The 2GB GDDR7 chips, which include 28 Gbps and 32 Gbps variants, are being phased out and are no longer listed as available on Micron's website. This move comes as Micron focuses on developing higher-density 3 GB (24 Gb) GDDR7 chips, which are better suited for Nvidia's high-end RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs designed for artificial intelligence workloads.
The shift away from 2 GB chips is driven by Micron's higher profit margins in the larger memory modules, as well as the growing demand for AI-focused memory solutions in data center applications.
