Samsung now sampling 24Gb (3GB) modules with 32 and 36 Gbps speeds
Samsung has quietly started sampling faster versions of its 24 Gb GDDR7 memory. The company already lists a 28.0 Gbps 24 Gb part in mass production, and now adds 32.0 Gbps and 36.0 Gbps speed bins in the same 266 FBGA package, both marked as samples. Each chip provides 3 GB of capacity, giving GPU vendors a denser option than the 16 Gb, 2 GB GDDR7 parts that dominate first wave Blackwell boards.

Three gigabyte modules line up neatly with current workstation and flagship gaming layouts. A 512-bit card can reach 96 GB using 32 such packages, while a 256 bit design can hit 24 GB with eight chips. That matches configurations such as RTX PRO 6000 class boards or RTX 5090 Laptop GPUs without changing the number of memory packages, only the density and speed grade.

There is still no public confirmation that RTX PRO 6000 uses Samsung 24 Gb parts, and reviews do not name a specific vendor (I tried to find it but no luck, even the picture above from Gamers Nexus does not show or mention memory type).
What we do know is that the card’s BIOS already includes IDs for Samsung, SK hynix and Micron GDDR7. This gives NVIDIA and its board partners freedom to swap between memory suppliers as pricing and availability change, while Samsung’s new 3 GB samples expand the menu of possible configurations for future revisions and new cards.

The faster GDDR7 modules with 24 Gb capacity, could theoretically be used by the upcoming RTX 50 SUPER refresh. However, rumors suggest that NVIDIA has pushed back the launch due to memory supply constraints and price hikes.
