Every GDDR Generation Explained in 13 Minutes — From GDDR1 to GDDR7!

In the year 2000, the fastest GPU memory ran at 600 megatransfers per second. In 2025, the newest generation delivers over 1.5 terabytes per second of bandwidth. Some generations lasted nearly a decade. Others were so unpopular that the entire industry skipped them entirely. GDDR2 ran so hot that nobody wanted it. GDDR4 looked great on paper and got replaced within a year. And the newest generation uses a signaling method that sounds like a downgrade but is actually smarter than what came before it. In this video, we break down every GDDR generation from the very first one to GDDR7 — what each one changed, why some survived and others didn't, and how we got from basic texture painting to powering AI models on your desk. _______________________________________________________ #GDDRExplained #GPUMemory #GDDR7 #RTX5090 #TechExplained
